Any surprise that this characterized their ancestors the ancient Assyrians also? If public sentiment in Germany is contrary to official policy, how little would it take to get official leadership in line with public sentiment, and then to exploit that sentiment? How many times has such a thing happened in history? Too many. שלום יוחנן רכב Dear Mr. Smith,

One pastor told me over dinner, 'you get pulled in ten different directions; then you have ten other things to do, besides.' Very similar to what you said. Thanks for the work, Mr Smith.
