***Hi, Victor
***I mean guys who discussed Cats.
Omer is from Israel, and his later comment about bitter-sweet
taste of the movie shows rather connection than gap. Jim is
seriously interested in war history, especially two WWs.Certainly. I was only speaking in general terms. However, we are all less sensitive to someone else's blood. For instance, the American Civil War is still not as shocking to me. At a rational level I understand the scale and importance of it, but emotionally it is still far away, as bloody as it was.
It is also very interesting to see the wars from different perspectives. I spent some time reading the Winter War history from Finnish side. It is hard not to see that as a tremedous achievement for a small country - how they managed to hold their own agains an overwhelming power and only lost about 20000 people.
Your remarks on errr, Remark, are true (borrowing you pun).
I think I might have seen the Polyoty. I shall check the other two. And if you can get the My Twentieth Century, get it. We shall call it even exchange.
So, what is new in Moscow? Maybe it is time for me to stop by again... And talking about someone else's blood, the war seems to be getting more and more serious.
