Those *dangerous* Korean War relics

In many cases from Africans. I said Europeans, not Americans. The Americans may have bought them, but they were still buying stolen (kidnapped) "goods." I believe most of the slave traders were European, but I'm sure some enterprising Africans got into the action as well. You need to read up on the history of the slave trade more. My understanding is that the Europeans simply became a new market for a well-established trade, run by various African tribes and quite a lot of Arabs. Probably should, but I'm not planning on it. I just don't care that much about what happened 100-300 years ago. I'm more concerned about what will happen in the next 100 years. "My interest is in the future, because I'm going to spend the rest of my life there." Reasonable enough. -- David Dyer-Bennet, , http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ RKBA: http://www.dd-b.net/carry/ Pics: http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/ http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/ Dragaera/Steven Brust: http://dragaera.info/ |
