I did not notice the [] you used on your comment and certainly was not aware of the importance of it in carrying out meticulously neutral academic discussion. Sorry for my shallowness. Beginners/layman always ask blunt questions without knowing the rules of academia. Thanks again for your patient responses.<BR/><BR/>Also, a thought just came to my mind. Have you ever researched on Traditionalism in Israel? I don't know if Guenonian Traditionalism has any followers there, but my hunch is that since there are so many immigrants from Russia and all over Europe, there might be a chance. And if indeed it has, it will be another interesting example of Traditionalism in the Middle East.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29711878.post-15670914124882899352007-04-11T15:50:00.001+02:002007-04-11T15:50:00.001+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mark Sedgwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11697551716540483823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29711878.post-29765982172037729732007-04-11T15:50:00.000+02:002007-04-11T15:50:00.000+02:00No allusions or implications intended.

Why do you give up chess for politics? and do you wish to go back?<BR/><BR/>Despite the fact that Dugin and Kasparov's political activisim are against complete opposite targets, they share one thing in common--fearlessly plunging into their unfamiliar territory which they know is full of landmines.<BR/><BR/>Kasparov's answer to Sackur was "I did it for my country and I only look forward."<BR/><BR/>Both Dugin and Kasparov claim to be patriotic.
