The incomplete collection of Greek philosophers I studied in college were translated from the Arabian, mostly. The earlier European barbarians had destroyed any copies they ran into after the fall of Rome, either through active vandalism or simple, uninterested, neglect.
The Near East and the Moors had kept the best of the Europeans in libraries for centuries before the West appreciated them again.
Before the nineties. In the late seventies and early eighties, in the south, judges did a lot of equivalent-to-recruiting brokering of plea deals.
The idea was that the service would straighten out an offender, who would in turn get a chance to have a life without a record (well, an arrest record, but charges dropped, as part of the plea deal). A fair few failed out in boot camp. Others, like my brother, took the physical and failed, so had to find some other deal.
Offenses could be felonies, although all the ones I know of were either property crimes (stealing or breaking shit up) or crimes of passion (actually of drunkenness, getting into fights). Poor, rough kids, in short (and all that I knew were white, but we lived in a pretty white town; the black town was next door and had a different judge).
As you say, you can be pretty certain that anything Trump says is a lie. Assassination of leaders of the other side is not, in fact, a key tool in stabilizing the international order. Soleimani was widely admired and even beloved by some, in Iran and among the factions he helped organize and supply in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon, among other places. Based on reporting from Iran, Trump's created a martyr. Good work, Gen'ral Bonespurs!
As for the deaths he's responsible for: incredibly difficult to count. He's been a military leader in a zone with lots of little wars for decades. If we credit him with all the deaths attributed to all the groups/organizations that he had at least the right to advise, and possibly direct, for twenty years, he'd need a hundred thousand a year on average to reach two million. Attribute every death in every country he's visited in the past twenty years, and getting to two million (minimum "millions") isn't difficult. Add years when he was ranked lower and the average per year drops (and remember, he rose to initial military prominence as a young man in the Iran-Iraq War of the eighties; that one was spectacularly bloody and his reputation was for bravery).
So 'millions' is possible, depending on what you're counting over what period of time, but he wasn't hated (feared by other political movers and shakers maybe), and he seems to be regarded as a martyr in a way that UBL and al-Baghdadi have not been.
I did not know that--but then, I don't recall ever taking any great interest in the Palins, especially after November 2008, when Sarah's relevance evaporated.
So now it has become I have a black wife?Also, if his caucus can't get excited about honoring actual black people during black history month, MAYBE the douchecanoe should re-evaluate his own fucking caucus?

"Creating a nuisance" is the tipping point.

I have me a black wife! I got her on lay-away at Walmart!
It wasn't widely reported.
How about they take one white person off the list for every black person left out of white history month?
And now we know why Trump ordered that air strike. Wag the dog..
I wonder if that loan manager *really* committed suicide...
But he was one helluva stakhanovite.
drumpster said it. It's a lie. Duh.
