You’re right, I got sidetracked.
As for this lady from Canada running her pro-Jihad website, she was an American-hating lefty even before she found her religion and, if we could interview her, would describe her captors as basically good guys driven to do bad things by U.S. imperialism.
“basically good guys driven to do bad things by U.S. imperialism”
This is the left’s basic (mis)understanding of the human condition in general.
“Basically good, but living in imperfect systems. If we perfect the system, the people will be perfect too.”
