You must feel quite the hero setting up strawmen and slaying them. <g>
I simply made the point many of your posts show you are enamored of causes far more complex than you understand and you have no grounding in the cultures or history involved. It really is pretty obvious, Terry. If someone were spouting the same kind of uninformed drivel in a technical area you'd spot it in a second and find it amusing. I'm sure you're a bright guy - the quality of your posts in technical areas point in that direction.
When you call people liars and murderers and racists etc. it implies a certainty that seems misplaced considering the knowledge you're bringing to the table.

>If you can't make sense of someone - just call em an "arab-lover" or a "n#gger lover" - great tact. But I sense you are trying to justify the murder in Iraq with a new c"con" - the "con" of liberating Arab women from the tyranny of their husbands.

The the word clitorectomy mean anything to you? They don't do that in Utah. But in Yemen? >Another position to advocate racial cleansing of Arab men?

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
