Your post doesn't sound too arrogant, too disrespectful. It's right in keeping with our right to do as we please, give birth to the world, because they're just a bunch of bearded knuckleheads anyway. Not only are you misinformed (Lawrence doesn't even know Peter Galbraith wrote a book, not an article, called The End of Iraq) but you think pushing the struggle into Africa is the answer. In addition to that being immoral, what do the African people have to do with it? but have you not heard of Somalia? That Somalia's civil war is why al Qaeda is in there? Al Qaeda thrives on war, and all you want is war and more war. Americans are not smart people, but they sure love war. No wonder we're sinking a mile a minute. > [Original Message] > From: Eric Yost <eyost1132@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: 8/23/2006 1:24:16 PM > Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: After August 22 > > Lawrence quotes some bearded knucklehead in a windbreaker: > "...acknowledge the right and the might of the Iranian people," > > > > One possible strategy being considered for the war on terror > is to reach a Nixon/China style accord with Iran, forcing > the struggle with Islamofascists away from the Middle East > and deeper into Africa, where it can be more easily > contained.
