A century of willful ignorance

 A friend of mine just sent me an interesting article by Ramzy Baroud, about Johns Hagee and McCain:  http://www.palestinechronicle.com/view_article_details.php?id=13720  Here’s the first paragraph from Baroud’s article:  A memorable quote in Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer Abroad (1894) still carries a wealth of relevance.
