We have our own fundamentalists of course. One could say much the same as Wafa Sultan against the worst of the Xtians and Jews. Chosen people mentalities are always bad. What might such a sensible tirade against Western foreign policy look like? In it all, how do we put forward reason without ditching the passion in which we hold it? Can anyone imagine our own politicians facing the concerns most of us in here share? Or even anything like this Al-jazeera debate? Thinking small, we have a massive problem in the West with an underclass we have created. Our 'answers' have been to create ghetto situations and hapless rhetoric that doesn't suit or even identify the real problems. If our bwankers have been little more than self- satisfied thieves running Ponzi schemes, our local authorities have also been run by people on fat salaries living away from the problems and making sure their own cozy lives are kept well away. We can't even get a review of how we were plunged into wars that make no sense - it may even be that we have not fought the right one. What have we done about our own medieval - the Undead? My general sense is that we can't make the right arguments. Racism has often seemed a good example. It's disgusting, yet partly genetic and common to us all. To have made this into a white man's burden and subject to political correctness has been to bury most of the problem. Our own general system has been shown to be disgustingly corrupt and even now we seem incapable of fixing it on the basis of discovering what was good in it and how we might move away from the inducements of massive (libidinal) riches as reward - perhaps our own virginal paradise?
