Broadly agree but what's 9/11 got to do with JC's views on unchecked immigration from certain parts of the world?

Also as far as holocaust goes "we" (the US and UK) knew what was going on and did nothing. The US entry into the war in Dec 41 had absolutely nothing to do with the start of the industrialised extermination of Europe's Jewish population. Harry Truman it was who believed entry into the war should be delayed until the Soviets and Germans had bloodied eachother to a stand still before coming in on the WEAKER side. Not much by way of moral authority there then for either of us!

O.K. fine, in the interest in sticking with 1 topic at a time. I'll weigh in on immagration feelings another time. I certainly am in no position to save the world or to offer infallible solutions to the tough questions. Regarding the U.S.'s and Englands tardy entry into ww2, i can only offer this, I lost a grandfather to that conflict. Were it not for his and many other's sacrifices i do believe that instead of an open media such as this we'd all be practicing our goose stepin'. Also 1 other thing, i doubt Julian would claim to be right about everything{who is?}. But i find his outlook on life to be the sort that i look to in a friend.
