..."ANCIENT WORLD"!!!....of COURSE there were Assyrians and an Assyrian EMPIRE as well as nation in the ANCIENT WORLD...but we aren't refering to the ancient world, when Assyrians had all that because they were held together by ASHUR...we're tralking about NOW, when battling Christian sects decided they would CALL themselves a nation...because words and talk are all-important to them and take the place of anything concrete.

>It is my pleasure and honor to share that SILLY attitude with such giant English Historian as H.W.F. SAGGS, but I am afraid that the reaction of the readers will turn the tide and see you here the only SILLY PERSON !

...ANCIENT WORLD...the man said it himself...he didn't say anything about Assyrians in the MODERN ERA. Who can't read? Who doesn't understand plain English...who is desperate to hallucinate?

...see what I mean? Most, if not all, of your claims are just as empty-headed...like Aprim you only see what you WANT to believe...you posted that paragraph here, smugly thinking, it proved your claim to being a nation TODAY, which is what I was saying is not the case at all...and yet right in FRONT of you are the words, "ancient world"...but you don't recognize the meaning of that phrase...so desperate are you to prove your own prejudice...the man YOU praise and cite says HIMSELF that the ANCIENT Assyrians were all those things...but your eyes are blind to anything that won't prove you right....you completely disregard such plain and simple facts STARING you in the face, in favor of what you NEED to believe anyway..

...how the hell could you read that paragraph and NOT see the words "ancient world", without understanding just what they mean to your ditzy claim....do you not understand the distinction between ancient and modern worlds? Do you see NO differences between ancient and modern Assyrians....NONE?

...WHY did Saags use "ancient"...why did he make that distinction? Why is he careful to separate ancient from modern Assyrians in making his statement? Why?
