>>"Lumping all Arabs into one group and believing they share a single mindset leads to a complete misreading of the situation"

But from what I just read, he did not do that. Another example of a DISHONEST argument from the left. If I am wrong, please feel free to correct me. But it looks like a perfect example of how many on the left justify their positions.<<

Srexley -

My statement stands on its own, but it was also made within the context the rest of my post. I did not specifically accuse him of doing it. However, saying that Hussein was an integral part of the Islamic jihad movement, when in point of fact the man was a secularist who was pretty much universally despised within the Islamic jihad movement, would indicate that one might be lumping Arabs together.

By the way, there is a difference between dishonesty and having a different view of things.

Neither the left nor the right has any claim to perfect adherence to honesty or rationality. I hear plenty of bull coming from both sides.
