RE: [fyi] an Iraqi ambiance

Thanks Jan. Shall we call the current nation- and democracybuilding
- via the law of opposition - what it really is: dismembering, as
the Asian Times call it, dissection, and instigation to civil war.

how relevant this all is to the study of Heidegger, and
that means: of OUR nihilism!

before ruining the East, we must have ruined ourselves.

that's why the first ww is so diligently studied now.
everything that happened afterwards (Hitler and the Jews)
is a consequence of the deceit called Versailles. A deceit
seen by everyone, Germans, French, English, Americans, but
it was myth that lived on, and not the truth. This is all
very dangerous, and the East is beginning to see.

i'm writing a nice post on it. (even the Germans themselves
have surrendered to the allied version, that's nihilism too)
Lately i saw a foto of Clemenceau and president Wilson in
Paris, 1917. Clemenceau said, that all civilization succeeds
barbarism and ends with decadence, but that America had missed
the in-between... Still, he used those barbarians to kill his
own European neighbour. Talking of nihilism...

Wilson and Versailles is a strange story. Originally he was
mild towards Germany, but later followed the wrath of France.
Would there be an intellectual 'barbarian' to explain this?
Or are they all reading 'Heidegger the Nazi', the sorry lot.
