The Arab countries under discussion are Third-World, resource based, extraction economies, led by folks that are coming out of a colonial mentality, bolstered by faith, which seems to be the last refuge for those frustrated and without hope. The above may be true but don't answer my concern. There is totalitarian message coming from those countries which is being acted on - 9/11 is a precursor - which is already causing millions there to suffer and will, if unchecked, deliver suffering to billions. The nature of the message and how it's being acted out has been well documented on this thread. You answered my last question. What about the others? I wrote: I didn't say those countries are totalitarian. Nor do I wish to demonize them. I said there is a totalitarian movement afoot in the area. Do you disagree with that? I said there is a totalitarian message issuing from some of them. Do you disagree with that? Iraq is totalitarian. It is a fascist dictatorship.
