I was responding in-kind; you started it with the attitude that you're right and I don't know what I'm talking about and too stupid to know what 'hierarchical' means.
You have no idea whatsoever where I get my news from and your commenting of such is naive to say the least. There is an intrinsic national emotional value to seeing OBL caught and brought to pay for his crime, regardless of whether he is/was still in control of some or all of the terrorist ideology...
OK! You are right.
Of course always being right is of no consolation in the battle of ideas...it has a persistent way of 'typecasting" that results in decidedly one-way communications...and inevitably decidedly lonesome ones at that.
All of your "syndrome" has been characterized, at one time or another, as a "tyranny of self-will". The rest of us will happily disagree with each other and not take offense...some may even find joy in changing their minds.
A key to an "out" in all this "fun" is to consider attacking the message rather than the messenger. It really does work...it's called conversation or discourse.
