No one's that obtuse Nadine. You know I never said anything about "hidden ideas." Posting a sentence where I talk about a "hidden enemy" and then one where I talk about the need to "kill their ideas" doesn't impress anyone. It does say something about your personal integrity. On your second subject, I would, in fact, have thought that the ideas that drive our many and various enemies in Iraq were not hidden until I read your latest spin that: "The ideas that motivate the terrorists are quite simple: they preach a return to the pure 7th century Islam, with themselves as rulers, and using terrorism they will drive the West out of the ummah, establish the caliphate and rule the world. I suggest looking at The Al Qaeda Reader. That's their playbook." So now I'll amend my thinking to accept that the ideas that drive many American-killing "terrorists" are beyond your comprehension. It must be terrifying to live in a fear filled fantasy world where your many enemies share the desire to "rule the world" and install pure "7th century Islam." I suggest you look a little more at some very real and pragmatic reasons why so many Iraqis seem to want to kill Americans. Try such common emotions as revenge, the desire to drive out foreign invaders, the desire to be free to rule your own country, money, a religion that has a tenet that infidels must be expelled, etc. The same for the real "terrorists" who may not be Iraqis. You're so fond of hanging on their every word, why don't you listen to all their words, not just the ones that scare you out of your wits? I bet that on the "Muslim Family Feud" quiz show "rule the world" would come in 8th or 9th. No wet host kiss for you. Ed
