..honestly...when will you stop hopping around...we're talking about the Supreme Court of TODAY..not Hammurabi's day...when it also wan't "policy" to starve children to death....of course we had those laws then...but we had LAWS...while your people were eatng each other alive.

..I was tryng to talk about today, which is when this decision was handed down..and today the heirs of Ashurbanipal and his god Ashur find themselves in accord with the rest of the world..and most of the world feels as we do...Assyrians grow and change...if you remain unchanged for three millenia..what's it to us?
