No Douglas, I'm not buying any propaganda. I realize your point and have read many of your other posts on this matter. Regarding Islamic Fundamentalists = fascism, I completely agree. Even the so called peaceful fundamentalists give their tacit approval to these terrorist actions. Their mission is to convert all, by conquering if need be, no less. There can be no coexistence for them. They see only one true way despite their rhetoric. In my post to Gina I mean that some things have been done by your government that have allowed these things to exacerbate, ie. Saddam. Sanctions were the wrong route, they should have removed him and I'd bet Bush Sr. regrets not having done so now, I know I would and do. I like this exchange between Peter O'Toole as T.E. Lawrence and Omar Sharif in the movie Lawrence of Arabia. It reminds me that these folks are still living in the past. En route at a Harith well at Masruh (belonging to a rival Bedouin tribe), Tafas draws up water at the start of one of the longest, most memorable entrances in film history. A dust cloud and then a tiny speck appear through shimmering, mirage-like heat waves on the desert horizon - Lawrence fears it is "Turks." The ominous image steadily enlarges and grows into a human being as it comes closer and closer. Tafas, Lawrence's escort, is shot down in cold-blood by the black-robed Bedouin for drinking at the well owned by a rival tribe. Through this ugly, ferocious act of ancient Bedouin tribal warfare, a fearless Lawrence is introduced to Sheik Sherif Ali Ibn el Kharish (Omar Sharif): Sherif: He is dead. Lawrence: Yes. WHY? Sherif: This is my well. Lawrence: I have drunk from it. Sherif: You are welcome. Lawrence: He was my friend. Sherif: That! Lawrence: Yes. That. Sherif: ...You are angry, English. He was nothing. The well is everything. The Hasimi may not drink at our wells. He knew that. Sa'lam. Lawrence: Sherif Ali. So long as the Arabs fight tribe against tribe, so long will they be a little people, a silly people, greedy, barbarous, and cruel, as you are. regards kastel a normally cute and cuddly Canadian
