Very likely the choice is based on Norwegian politics.

The invasion and its consequences have killed a vast number of Iraqis, and Americans are responsible. Sorry, Dionysios, but you should stay away from the wine of American vanity. Otherwise you end up sounding like the harlot in the Book of Proverbs, who "eats," wipes her "mouth" and says "I have done nothing wrong."

Think about all the Nazi Egyptologists, anthropologists, etc. The Commie ones, too.

Then there's the power of the cowboys-and-indians myth with ordinary Americans. Loads think arabs=indians and israelis=cowboys. Few know that half of Israelis come from Arab countries, and had grannies who spoke Judaeo-Arabic.

If he enlisted out of high school and is age 39 now, that's about 20 years in the US Army.

Also, they'd like Palestinians to disappear, the better to build a Third Temple, etc., etc., all to fulfill their bizarre future history. Lots of Palestinians are Christian, but Catholic or Orthodox, which doesn't count for a lot of US Protestants. So far, no anti-Muslim chystalnacht or lynch mobs, and I hope it stays that way.

As well as our assumption that it's really a basketball game and that if we keep trying, we can get the last two points and "win!"

IN the past. Nowadays, China is giving shoulder-fired SAMS to rebel groups in Burma (So asia times on line) and they may migrate to Afghanistan, Jundullah, the Unorganized Militia of Kentucky, who knows? Such are the wonders of supply and demand.

All systems, always and everywhere, are totally corrupt. Morals never get better; never get worse. You can pull up weeds, but you cannot eliminate weeds forever, nor will you ever find a field without weeds.

Maybe Bush et al. will go on trial eventually. It can't be fast enough to suit me.

That they would be dumb enough to video each other doing it is a bit surprising, but you don't have to be smart to be a rapist.
