I suppose you are right. <//The Islamic Jihadis are foaming at the mouth madmen who go berserk because somebody denigrates their koran, yet they don't see that they are being at least as offensive to Americans// What do you mean, they don't see it? Of course they see it. That's the whole point! The faithful are supposed to scorn infidels, that's how it's supposed to work. You give them respect for the one true religion, they give you scorn back.> They are egocentric megalomaniacs and the only answer to people like that is a bullet through the brain, or a cage. They think everything is about them and for them and their concept of being part of Allah akbah. They have no concept of externality. Which is typical of megalomaniacs. They are in good company. I figure about a third of people are like that - but living in societies like USA and NZ they don't get to be fully expressive. When circumstances such as Germany's in 1930s exist, then they come to the fore. They are lurking off-stage, waiting for their chance. That's why repressive regimes are so so common around the world and always have been. Mqurice
