I never said it was of the best taste. Regardless of the truth, it is rather pointed at spots... but nothing worse that what gets aimed at any -other- ethnic group.
As I stated in another comment: I will reiterate: The posting was not in ANY way concerned with the current goings on in Iraq. It's something that amused me as a student of history, and -nothing- else. What set me off later was that one of the folks who'd used private email to flame me was someone I had to deal with a steady stream of German and Romany ethnic jokes... and that another is excessively fond of Polish and Italian jokes. Three of those bloodlines flow through me...
