Michael in Seattle

You’re a ‘dummy’ if you think that Islamic fundamentalism is in any way related to the overthrow of a ‘secular’ dictator of the Ba’ath party who ran a aliberial, repressive cult of personality at the expense of his subjects who happened to be mostly Muslim.

Way to miss the point there, Michael. Look up Operation Ajax sometime and see if it has any bearing on “overthrow of a popularly elected leader”. See also the next 24 years for “support of a murdering kleptocracy”. This might have a wee tad bit to do with the rise of Islamic fundamentalism.
