every nation in the world has elements of "evil," as you refer to assad and, I suppose, any purported "enemy" of the good ol' usa. here in the good ol' usa, we have well-placed individuals who promote global war for their own economic and political gain. perhaps we need more gandhis around the world and fewer bear-bating neocons in DC.
(in your best Lindsay Graham, sleepy-eyed drawl)
Are we gunna sit bah and let sum Ivy League academic and his radical community organizer pals insult the god-fearin', freedom-lovin', 2nd amendment protectin' people of the beautiful state of South Carolina while the brave men and women of the armed forces lie exposed on our battlefronts because of the callous disregard shown by an administration that all they care about is takin' away yo guns and forcin' you to purchase expensive Socialist healthcare and apologizin' for the greatest country the world has ever known? Would Ronald Reagan bow to a Saudi Prince or some dictator? NoSir. And that Hilary Clinton might as well a dug the graves in advance fuh those heroes of Benghazi who didn't stand a chance against terr-ists cuz she was off at sum glitzy party with prob'ly Hollywood millionaires or sumpt'n when she shoulda been keepin' watch over the selfless Americans who she tosses wrecklessly into harm's way without even a care for their safety or their honest, hard-workin' families. When I think of the sacrifices our soldiers make every single day so the Democrats in Congress can maintain the big guv'ment welfare state, I pray to the good lord above for more decent American patriots like my friend Senator John McCain who kept the faith by sneakin' a peek at Old Glory he had tucked up inside his raggedy POW shirt. The communists tried every thing in their power to beat him down through torture and compel him to reject the United States of America. But Lieutenant Commander McCain held firm to his principles and his belief in god as we South Carolinians must do in the face of this smear campaign of uppity hate against our people whose ancestors rejected the tyranny of a corrupt monarch and declared themselves a republic. I will fight for you, South Carolina, because you are in my heart when i go to bed each and every night and when I wake up and have my coffee and plan my press conferences. Today I will announce hearings to investigate this here Professor Juan Cole -- I don't like the sound of that name, by the way -- to determine the truth behind allegations that he's mixed up in sumpt'n or othah.
Excellent points, Aimai. Good thinking.
It is stunning and sad how uninformed most Americans are in such an age of available and abundant information. The commercial media, as we know, do an ineffectual and largely self-serving job of informing the masses -- as evidenced this past week when the hyperventilating networks and cable outlets fanned the speculation that the attack could ONLY have been concocted and carried out by either al qaeda or by Tim McVeigh Jr.
With respect, Aamir,
I did not detect that Prof Cole was making a value judgment regarding Islam in Chechnya. He seems merely to be interpreting, from the information available, that Anzor Tsarnaev was secular and may have served the pro-Russian Chechen or Dagestan government in its struggle with the invading Islamic Peacekeeping Army. Prof Cole is reporting that Tsarnaev was more interested or invested in Chechen or Dagestan independence than he was in a pure Islamic society.
To your second point, Tsarnaev's seeking refugee status for his family because of his professional activities in either Chechnya or Dagestan, or for that matter Kyrgyzstan, seems plausible.
I will read the article again to better understand your point of view.
