Today's discussion questions

[sabotabby]

It's another one of those long days at school and I won't be around, so here are two discussion questions for you. Fight talk amongst yourselves.

1. What do we think of this news story? There's a lot in there, so let's pick it to pieces.

2. Speaking of genocide, the Toronto District School Board has a new history course dealing with the subject. It officially recognizes three genocides: Armenia, the Holocaust, and Rwanda. What's missing, and why do you think they chose to exclude the genocide that happened in the country where the course will be taught.

Have a happy Friday!

Another possibility could have been sending the bombers to Russian held territory to refuel after the mission. Churchill suggested doing as much when to Stalin during the Warsaw uprising (except sending supply planes instead). But Stalin, true to his character, denied that there was even an uprising happening at the time to Churchill's emissary (who was the head of the London based Polish goverment).

I was aware of the history of trying to use Russian bases for air operations so considered that to be a non starter from the off. The Russians wouldn't even allow British planes to be based on their territory to cover the Arctic convoys.
