No, I haven't changed my mind in regard to what I originally said.   I used
the term "root cause" in the sense that I assumed Mike Geary to be using it.
Although you can see from the MG note I just responded to that he denies
that I correctly understood his vague term -- sort of.

I know

 

LH>It would be possible for a determinist to claim Qutb as

LH> the root cause and Osama as the proximate cause, 

LH>but as I said I am not a determinist. 

 

so you've changed your mind?
