Of course as a Christian I ask, if there is no such thing as human nature being sinful, how did evolution "evolve" destructive behavior that is contrary to survival?Sharon Wilfonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466621290140789056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948826710613032587.post-72541900361130331412015-11-23T12:30:12.412-08:002015-11-23T12:30:12.412-08:00Hi Brian.

There's also a couple of books about Kissinger I want to read as well.Sharon Wilfonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466621290140789056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948826710613032587.post-66446726353642654132015-11-23T11:15:56.428-08:002015-11-23T11:15:56.428-08:00Your fine review and commentary is interesting on ...Your fine review and commentary is interesting on many different levels. In particular, I am reminded that the "other" in history has too often been ostracized, vilified, and destroyed. I wonder what it is in human DNA that causes this deplorable behavior. We are now on the verge of either committing or being the victim of the same offense. These are difficult and dangerous times, and anyone who shines a light on the past -- even if the light is somewhat tinted and angled -- deserves our attention. Thanks for your posting. Now I have much to ponder.RTDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113953356514605424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948826710613032587.post-87240476719076169282015-11-23T11:07:33.883-08:002015-11-23T11:07:33.883-08:00This sounds like such a worthwhile read.

I was very interested in foreign relations when very young and I remember hearing about the plight of Soviet Jews then.<br /><br />About Henry Kissinger, I read his book Diplomacy several years ago. I found it to be fascinating account of In international relations from the 17th century on. I highly recommend it. I also want to read a biography of him.Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.com
