Joe,

The most important event in American history, which precipated the attacks
on the Barbary Pirates, was the dealing with the Pirates of Penzance. I
suggest you review your American history.

I disagree! I think the most important event in American history was
the election of one Ronald Reagan. Without his dealing with and
defeating the Soviet Union, the United States might well be nuclear
slag right now.

Ronald Reagan would have never been elected if not for the candicy of Barry
M. Goldwater. Goldwater would have used atomic weapons against the Pirates
of Penzance!

Through purity of essence, we would prevail!

Here's Dr Andrew Bostom's account:


Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, then serving as American ambassadors
to
France and Britain, respectively, met in 1786 in London with the
Tripolitan Ambassador to Britain

Utter and complete bull****

This is not only a fabrication, but is so far askew from
anything that is actual history as to make me wonder why
anybody who passed U.S. history in grammar school would
believe it for a second.

First of all, was Tripoli a sovereign country? Did the
country that we know as "Tripoli" have ambassadors in
European capitals?

If the above was true, would that ambassador have a meeting
with other ambassadors to announce that his gov't was going
to carry out piratical attacks against merchant shipping?

Try googling this phrase: "Dey of Algiers chopping down U.S.
flag pole".


Basically, this kind of farce is being used to try to sell a
bill of goods to the gullible & prejudiced. It's
advertising, like glamour shots of the "Pepsi generation,"
intended to justify & popularize unwise & impractical gov't
policy. It is a jihad of ignorance.

Gilly,

Not sure but I think the "Barbary Pirates" proceeded Victor's "Pirates
of Penzance". I also believe they were English rather than American.

They were easily dealt with by just putting new words to old tunes.

Never a problem for me. Just JOY!

Paladin,

I hate like Hell to disagree with you again but the most important thing
in Ronnie's Admin, was being shot with a 22 instead of a 38.
