Talk is cheap.
And you are far from being a che.
Maybe you could have been a citizen of those countries and felt the same way...and maybe not.
The fact is that now, you are.
Funny you should mention sulah jirgay...because that is exactly what Mullah Omar did with 700 elders and they found that there was no case against Bin Laden. There is no way Bin Laden could have executed such a sophisticated plan and you are going by what the Americans are saying without even looking at the evidence. So no you are not even doing that much. You are just going by the American way -"Guilty till proven innocent"
Basically you wish to fight falsehood with falsehood.
Good luck with that. |
I did not say I was Che. I am not a fighter nor a monetary contributer to anything. I am discussing notions and ideas with you. People who take real actions are not sitting on PF debating with Matt Dresden. They could care less what he thinks.
I myself would agree with your commentary on the sullah jirga event. The young Mr. Rahmatullah Hashemi was at the event you note and told me about it first hand:

As I stated though, its not falsehood at all to answer the question they ask with a simple: its irrelevelent, for the sake of discussion let us assume he did so.
It is the exact same answer to the question: Do you think Chavez is funding FARC? its irrelevent, for the sake of discussion let us assume he did so... what are your theories of why he did so?
Its the Socratic method and forces them to formulate an argument and back it with evidence that does not exist.
The fact that their own "hawks" write literature that admits our role in Arab Arab affairs and in trying to control resources, etc only creates a problem for their moral imperitive story line.
