That isn't what I said, Ed! IF you spent extensive, NOT cursory, time
studying that period and ALL that happened, that is well documented,
then yes you could speak with authority. I can't.....won't even try.
Most of what I have available isn't the truth.....revisionist garbage
and I know it. I didn't intend any insult to anyone, just stating what I
know to be the extent of study required and that MOST don't have it.
