“I would gather that you are suggesting that world events happen in a vacuum and that each event is new, unique and disconnected from every other in the context of human behavior and history…”

No, Mack. That is what you are saying I am saying. I am saying Omar made no case whatsoever that the hanging of a journalist in Iraq had anything to do with the marines captured, and now released, un-hung, by Iran. These two events are unrelated, and Omar said nothing to make any sort of legitimate, or even rational, connection between the two. The ONLY thing connecting the two events in Omar’s piece is his hatred for Iran, and that, quite frankly, is completely irrelevent.
