Via Oblomovka I have found the article from April 15, 2003 written by Robert Fisk about burning of culture in Baghdad.
"For almost a thousand years, Baghdad was the cultural capital of the Arab world, the most literate population in the Middle East. Genghis Khan's grandson burnt the city in the 13th century and, so it was said, the Tigris river ran black with the ink of books. Yesterday, the black ashes of thousands of ancient documents filled the skies of Iraq. Why?"
Listen. When history is suppressed, wiped out, destroyed, burned. When evidence, however slim, that exists to support the conversations that give continuity of culture and heritage gets wiped out then the conversations of that culture, of that heritage disappear and Kombinat! is born and rules ruthlessly. Don't you ever fucking forget about it.
Now back to our regularly scheduled conversations burning and disposal.
Class site.
Your site has very much liked me.
Different work!!!
