Re: mikis theodorakis

[Alex J. Lubet <lubet001...>]

True, of course, but Theordoakis' statements transcend any rationale.  Any shift
in Israeli policy or alliances would be of no more consequence to him than they
would be to a Nazi, judging by his essentialist view of history.  He could 
easily
get a gig writing textbooks for the Palestinian Authority, whose cuuriculum can
also be found on a website.

Find the actual remarks and read them, if you can bear it.  Things like this
challenge one's own ability to provide rational responses.
