hello ron, <<Islamo-Fascism>>

... you repeatedly used the phrase islamo-fascism, which leads to a question, that being which of the main stream religions, in your view, is most responsible for fascism? why?

i hope we can agree to count buddhism out.

as to the war in iraq, is it not as bad as lost already, or even worse than lost, for there is neither a viable strategy (addressing the elements of focus, structure, phasing, economics, risk-mitigation) to win, nor a graceful way to disengage, and worst of all, a no-win/no-exit/loss might well lead to greater losses ala domino scenario; in the meantime, the hearts and minds are lost already - war crimes tends to motivate folks to lose heart.

recommendation: accumulate gold, since wars cost money, losing wars cost more, and financing requires printing by a whole lot of CBs.

chugs, j
