Ya gotta love his nuanced and repetitive view of the world, ladies and

Ok, where should we send the bigger missiles to kill Bin Laden? How many
other people are we allowed to kill in order that we _eventually_ take out
UBL?

Really? The president of Iran has declared it is the intention of his
country to kill millions? Could you point me in the direction of an example
of this please

Oh, I thought we were talking about killing millions. Also, do you mean
_only_ Islamic clerics or all religious fanatics?

Which Islamic country puts all its women in chattel?

Sorry, I am not sure where you get the model for this from. The Taliban were
an extreme form of Government who fit the mould you discuss better than any
others (women did work though and trade was certainly more than person to
person bartering), yet at no point did the Taliban ever express a desire to
export their "brand" of worship.

Most Islamic states in existence now do not conform to any of the things you
have described. What I can assume is that you have taken the "demands" of a
few firebrand clerics as indicative of the desires of _all_ extremist
groups.

There is (based on the suggested responses) also the apparent implication
that this desire is shared by Islamic states themselves. This is not far
from assuming the ranting of a demented Christian cleric is indicative of
the desires of America.

You have become fixated with this "mess prevention" and, at best, it is a
very poor analogy. In reality, the efforts being taken to prevent the "big
mess" are causing a bigger mess. It is a bit like throwing a hand grenade
into your living room to stop the carpet getting dirty.

Bringing in some irrelevant comment about gender difference does nothing to
support your argument. You have no idea as to the real gender of the people
you are conversing with.

No, the intent is not isolated to _one_ human being. It is not just Asians,
Muslims, Men or any other sub group of humanity you wish to stereotype which
harbours people intent on destroying that which you hold dear. How will you
decide where to draw the line?

It is ok, it was an imaginary elephant. In the real world, imaginary things
cant hurt you. As an aside, I know what imaginary numbers *are* and I also
know there is no way *you* are juggling them.

You are possibly one of the more idiotic people who posts on USENET. I am
surprised you aren't a regular on sci.physics along with all the other
semi-literate cranks. Do you have some theories of your own on the mass of a
photon or two-way light speed or any of the other crankbait topics?

Actually, I probably know the answer to that. You don't have any ideas of
your own.
