"Oh, please. That's like saying that if I mention the Holocaust without saying I deplore Hitler's actions, I must be in support of them. " I don't think so. And in fact, when most folks allude to the holocaust, it is obvious they deplore Hitlers actions. Nothing of the kind is obvious in the post in question. Now, given the level of threat Iraqi locals are under from the likes of Zarqawi, and the lack of evidence that over 50% of Iraqis help insurgents even though a few Iraqis are under that threat for sure, why would the writer jump to presume that whatever help insurgents receive from locals is a better indication of the feelings of common Iraqis? Becuase his is an unreasonable inexplicable bias, IMHO. So frankly, my judgement of Chinu is not groundless as you suggest at all. In his reply he does not indicate that he believes most Iraqis support insurgents (he'd be wrong, and I think he knows it), let alone the critical point that he should think it a bad thing if true. The writer just posted to me indicating that he DOES believe most Iraqis support what Bush has done in Iraq. Does he mean that? Read him for a few posts and try to decide. What a fruitloop, IMHO. Like that ad hominem? Effective, no? If you can trust the very words coming from him, you have to be blind to the utter contradictions living in them. Dan B.
