Unfortunately for them and the rest of the world, they're nothing but the equivalent of cannon fodder to the charismatic (I guess...why else would anyone fall for their lies?) overseers. I can't call them leaders, because they don't lead. They just order the gullible and mentally deficient to die for the overseer's personal glory.
There's a good reason to pity the lowest rent among them. They really don't have the capacity to understand that they're being used like Kleenex. I don't mean that we should try and understand why they hate us, pay them off and bend over for them...the Bush Doctrine, which I support wholeheartedly, is that through freedom and representative government will come education, through education hopefully enlightenment, through enlightenment hope, and through hope a willingness to work with others rather than kill them out of hand. Yeah, that's oversimplified, but I'm tired and it's Monday. I'm sure you get the gist though.
"I'm sure you get the gist though."
Yes, very nicely done. Very good post.
I agree: they are cannon-fodder for the likes of Bin-Laden and the other unspellable names I won't struggle with tonight, either. Do you see those guys putting their lives on the line? No, they are holed up in safe places; they get out while the getting is good, and leave the minions behind to die. To die like, dare I say it, pigs? Esp. the suicide bombers, for heavens' sakes! If it is so noble, why hasn't Bin Laden done it!?!
The women in scarves and burkhas: they are the useful idiots (not to mention the Western press! LoL!) If they would be merely human women, they would -- at least in France and Germany! where they have the culture behind them -- refuse to be identified as a submissive slave by wearing the darned thing. Then, without the submissive women, Islam would be done for.
Yes, Bush has a good strategy. I do think freedom and education will break the spell, in time. Tho that does not explain those dumb broads in the scarves and burkhas in Europe!
After 9/11, we flew out of Prague back to the US. There was a burkha'd woman, you could only see her eyes, if you peered. And I did, cause it would be a perfect disguise for a terrorist! Her husband was in western dress -- jeans. Now, there were lots of western women around, and none of US were in Burkhas; yet her husband managed to control his passions, and did not attack any of us. So the logic of the burkha-prison was totally destroyed for her to see. If he could resist US, he could resist Muslim women, too, who were not shrouded in the cape of death -- I mean, it looks just exactly like the costume of the Grim Reaper! I wonder that they are as helpless as they act -- eg in Europe or here. I heard often of GIs marrying submissive Korean women, and then when they got here, well they were not going to play that role anymore!
