> I believe the people like Bernie Lewis, Daniel Pipes, et al, who have studied and spent time there

Too bad. You should really learn to think for yourself.

> I have not spent years living among by reading about them, and so do you.

Wrong. I am fluent in 5 languages and 3 of them are from the region. As well I spent a good chunk of time in Peshawar and the UNHCR office there in 80s. I think I have seen both how they think and how our government operates better than you.

> You are pissed that we are liberating Iraq.

Wrong again. I see Iraq as an very complex society that is way over Bush's head. I see him doing a lot more harm than good and many CIA analysts and middle east experts agree with my assessment.
