This reminds me of dreams where I don't realize I am naked until I am outside. Where no matter what I do, I cannot run. Where everything is stripped down to simplistic and therefore unsolvable problems.
Who are these 'we's and 'they's who are somehow monolithic? When we talk about bin Laden, are we also talking about Saddam and Iraq? That is what was posted - just like that bad dream where nothing makes sense.
The post is way too simplistic. It dumps too many fruits and vegetables in one pot - and then calls it beef stew. I can appreciate the frustration. I can appreciate the fear of a nation that has somehow gone bizarre - is destroying itself by attacking the things that made America strong in the name of blind patriotism and 'enemies hiding under every bed'. But to not be specific only creates a muddy flood of conclusions and calls the result 'cleaner'.
There are simple questions with answer that are appalling. Such as, "When do we go after bin Laden?" Somehow this post lumps bin Laden with Egyptian political opposition groups to create 'they' and 'we'.
