Wish there was some way to repost your reply so more people would see it. It may now be buried in postings from three days ago and never to seen by others.

Mulling it over I think I'm going to try to run the two original articles and your thoughts through Townhall.com and will give you credit for your analysis.

Thank you for reading and the compliment.

"Thank you for reading and the compliment."
You may certainly pass on my comments to whomever you please. Do take the liberty of checking my spelling. I am often shot these days as I replie to people due to long very physical as well as mental taxing day at work on varying shift schdedules so have at best become rather sloopy in grammatic contructs as well as spelling. The Euphrates river reference is mis spelled as is most probably a few other things.
But I would surely stand by my brief analysis. So much could have been added of which many of us have shared in detail over the past few years.
