Booboolane, I haven't read The Shield of Achilles, but dug out some devastating critique from a historian:
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2751/is_2002_Winter/ai_95841642/printAlso he has no opinion at all about the concept of the market-state. One difference between this thesis, and what I am registering here: while The Shield is the story of an 'organic' flow of history, the development of Transnational Progressivism is most certainly man made, left man made, that is. Thanks for the communication.
Dear Malize, we re-live the barbarians knocking on Rome's door. We shall have to see how it works out, but what bothers me most, are our enemies within. What discussion can one have with essentially treasonous middle aged babies who are incapable of perceiving the difference between Nazi Germany and Zionism? Thanks for the feed back.
God bless you both,
Cassandra.
