X, being arrogant, they think they don't need to understand "ragheads". They think that "ragheads" are by definition insane and simple and cowardly and subhuman and only worth killing. Which is partly true, but misunderestimating opponents is hazardous to health.
So, they are amazed and surprised when the Twin Towers cease to exist, whereas such a thing is entirely predictable. Several years ago while flying across the USA somewhere, I thought how easy it would be for me to stand up, take three steps into the cockpit [I was seated immediately behind the cockpit] and have control of a dirty great big aircraft full of people and fuel and many tons of high speed metal. I didn't mention anything to the aircrew that this seemed a hazardous way to run a railroad as aircrew are notoriously stupid and authoritarian and customer unfriendly, and would think I was a terrorist making a threat and have me arrested, which would be at least inconvenient and possibly fatal. Fortunately, I wasn't on the aircraft which were finally hijacked. Nor did I bother writing to airlines because such ideas, which I've made many times, are universally ignored. As happens right here to my great and excellent suggestions while they line up more American and Iraqi bodies.
The "ragheads" are not cowardly. Nor totally stupid. Nor particularly insane, though they are superstitious, like their American opponents. Jihad and Crusade is not a good combination. Two madnesses entwined in a death spiral.
In fact they appear to be braver than their American opponents, which is not surprising when a lot of American soldiers must think they are working, and risking being blown up, to increase Halliburton profits and to supply BP Oil with lots of cheap oil. "Fighting for Freedom" is a great slogan, but when up one's arse in alligators, it's tough to remember the job is to drain the swamp. I dare say Freedom, from the Iraqi point of view, is like a desert mirage; apparently there, but in practise it's just shifting sands of politics, power and profit.
If the USA isn't prepared to sort the UN out and do things right, I can only conclude that their intention, as per the accusations, is in fact to steal the oil, take control and be Numero Uno and make the UNO Numero Zero. Which not surprisingly will lead to continued RPG attacks on the PNAC Great American Empire warriors, who treat aliens, gooks and ragheads as second class humans.
Judge people by their actions rather than their words.
