>>He said only that the issues that were raised made him wonder.

Actually, he said the issues made him wonder. And now he knows. ("Now I know.")

Anybody who now "knows" something because of a post by an anonymous poster on the Internet deserves to be ridiculed as a non thinking human. Solon described him accurately.<<

Bill -

Well, he didn't say "Now I know everything about the Middle East." He certainly didn't claim to now be an expert.

Accuracy isn't the issue. If this is supposed a place where an open-minded exchange of views can take place, then it's not supposed to be a place where people take a few words somebody says, make a blanket judgment about his ability to think, and call him names.

From the title of the thread, however, I guess I could conclude that this isn't supposed to be a place for an open exchange of views.
