Re: Blood and Sand
O.K. if you read the article written about the literary career of Morris, see how he originally scouted out facts that were contradictory to the then accepted history of his people. (Kind of like American history tells different stories when it comes to their own ruthlessness in settling this country and expanding to Mexico. Then along comes a Renaissance in historical publishing that tells us a familiar figure in the old west was black and all this time his picture was faded to resemble a white man. And Custer's last stand was a foolish attempt to win political points for it's commander...)
Then as he is inevitably drawn to become a traitor or patriot; his attitude changes.
That is what I wanted you to see. The struggle for survival one-ups the truth about one's own people.
It is a difficult problem -the middle east. But I just wanted to point out there are no good guys.
