Liz, I like your Borges quote, or Burgess as its original English family name was. It what they want, its really what they want. Sad, but true.

From quantum theory to dialectics? What a small mnided goal this so-called Paradise is. Booze, babes and perpetual adolescence? Surely not a worthwhile goal for sentient beings. "I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library." -- Jorge Luis Borges On 12 January 2015 at 14:18, spudboy100 via Everything List <[email protected]> wrote: Sent from AOL Mobile Mail Hi, I am familiar with juan cole and which side he is on, to be blunt. Familiar enough to know that I rarely trust his judgements. To his view about Bush, the same can be said by a jihadist who would then have blamed Bill Clinton for his meddling, and the same voices blamming Bush, the elder, Reagan, Carter. This is merely to deflect blame from the jihadists, which is what the progressives do, because they support and feel sympathy for the Islamists, but don't like this to be shown to joe public, worldwide. The muslims do jihad because it gets them to paradise, with booze and babes. This is their faith, and how they deal with existential troubles. No excuses are needed or wanted from their journalist-defenders. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
