What's the point of what you just linked to? Where is the controversy?
The most basic assumption about the world is that it does not contradict itself.

One thing I found interesting during Desert Sheild is that all of the charts/maps the US Navy has refer to the Gulf as the Arabian Gulf. I was told we were calling it that because we were friends with Saudi Arabia and were no longer friends with Iran (historical Persia).

There's spin of some sort to everything it seems. :?
By the pricking of my thumb,
Something wicked this way comes.
Open, locks,

I like this one. Maybe I'll use it in my sig.

Not seeing the controversy here.
