Give up Justin. You’ve won the argument. It’s hopeless to argue with entrenched positions divorced from reality, whether it’s with Islamism or America-is-the-source-of-all- evilism.
Wait a minute. Does this mean that you think Islamists would be
plotting to blow up planes or drive them into tall buildings if the
US hadn’t supported Israel and a host of reactionary, corrupt Arab
regimes for years, and more recently, invaded Iraq, with the support
of that lickspittle Blair? And you think that they’d still be as
perfervid (to use Marty Peretz’ favorite word) if the US changed its
policies?
