Today,
Arabs fighting the West brings images of terrorists blowing up women and
children so this story of the Algerian Sultan who fought and beat back the
French in the long war of the 1830's and 1840's brings a needed balance. Pitched battles were fought; the Arab side
won; and treaties were signed. In the
end it took treachery, a 110 thousand+ army, and tribal disloyalty to bring
Abd-el-Dader down. Had the Algerian
tribes stayed on the opposition, the French would not have won in the end. http://dld.bz/fjGYt
