It's also good writing technique to let the reader figure out this type of stuff for himself (connect the dots); turn a one-way lecture into an interactive conversation with the reader and thereby allowing your main point to eventually settle even deeper in his mind (as it did yours and mine). All excellent writing (fiction and nonfiction) produces this sort of dialogue. I say good for Goldberg.<br />It seems to me that many (although perhaps not all) those of the anti-American or Israel bent and statist’s of all types down through history, have very little in the way of real accomplishments.
