Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "Hey, Carl, haven't you spent half your time arguing that there is no connection between secular Iraq and Al Qaeda or the other Islamists?" You're twisting my description of a complicated situation just enough to make it wrong. Let me repeat myself, with the bolds indicating the differences between what I've been saying and the words you are putting in my mouth: There is little or no connection between the secular *Baathist party of Saddam Hussein* [which is not at all the same thing as "Iraq"] and the Islamic Fundamentalists, including Al Qaeda. Re: " Where did all these fundamentalists come from?" The area is populated by Arabs that believe in the Koran. Of course they have Islamic Fundamentalists. I suppose the next thing you're going to argue is that Israel supports the Islamic Fundamentalists in the Occupied Territories, LOL. No, the truth is that the Baathis regime in Iraq has been fighting their Islamic Fundamentalists (who are largely supported by Iran) for a very long time. Re: "Do you now agree that Saddam has been inviting them in and training them?" No. -- Carl
