I Was a Card-Carrying Libertarian: Confessions of a Black Sheep Republican
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. Oct 25, 2007 01:47 PM
Well, way for you to miss the point while trying to point out someone else missing the point. If you believe Muslims extremism started in 1953, you’re woefully ignorant. Furthermore, Muslims extremism was NOT in response to US policy…AT ALL. NEVER until they felt it convenient to blame the US. The Muslim Brotherhood, the first extremist organization was formed in 1929 (Qutb – a committed Marxist) in response to British occupation. Then, much like a retarded child with ADD, their focus has shifted to whatever “big dog” they’re facing at that moment and blame them for ever societal/economic woe. After the British, it was the French. And then Israel. And now the US/Israel/Whomever-isn’t-a-socialist-thug.
