Who talking abotu next door? This article is about a global society, and in that sense i dont give a dam what the hell you do in your country or how you teach your history.
Right, so you're one of the guys who says "Maybe Iran calls America the Great Satan and teaching how we've ed them over, let it go, my fellow Americans."??

the guy at the top of the street on the soap box telling everyone else how they should be thinking and how they should be teaching thier history
AFAIK "The Nation" is a US publication, the end of the street is a little closer to you than I am...

But, true, if I see I a liar, I'll call him on it.
