Fwd: ROBERT FISK & OTHERS [MUST READ!!]

> --- Begin Message ---
> Regarding the Robert Fisk article,  the ancient literature of the region reflects a very similar culture,  one in which the ruler of the day built monuments with lengthly, praise worthy inscriptions to himself and his own rule while deriding and cursing his enemies to death.  Actually,  one of the earliest rulers composed a lengthly poem to himself which has survived to this day and which would compete  favorably besides any American rap lyrics.  The ruler boasts about his sexual and athletic prowess, his wealth and his domination over his enemies.
