Yes, that was good. Persian empire was defeated by Alexander with 40,000 men. The west owes the Greeks. Don't you forget it.

So I said the islamists are welcome to try to march an army in downtown Manhattan 150 years from now if they can do what the Greeks did. But we know they can't. However, if I make the number to be 1500 or 2500, people will bi!tch and moan that I show favortism for the Greeks by not recognizing the righteousness and superior fighting capabilites of the islamic horde.
There, is that too long for you? Do you understand now? Should I draw a diagram for you? I would make a shockwave flash presentation for you if I had the talent to make one. I don't. So you will have to read the words and try to comprehend the parallel some of us are trying to draw here.
