In other words you where attacking a straw man by talking about all, and that was what I was pointing out. I don't think you're using the phrase "straw man" correctly. The original article was not a straw man; I created a straw man with the intent of showing that the original article [and your follow on] could not have had any basis to portray suicide missions with any sort of a general characterization. Any isolated incident [if it existed] is anecdotal and has no particular value other than as an isolated incident. To portray it as a general characterization, which it did, lacks journalistic integrity. But it does make good propaganda. jttmab
