   far too many, and if you believe for a second i favour the socalled   
   "armed resistance movement", you are wrong. My argument  is quite the   
   opposite: The US invasion has created opportunities for Al Qaeda  and   
   related movements such as they never had before. for instance the "ansar   
   al sunnah" which killed several hundred kurds in february, in two   
   separate explosions at the headquartees of KDP and PUK respectively.

   The fact that you fall back on ad hominem argument like this is more of   
   a reflection on the poverty of your argument than anything else.

   I really dont think so. And most especially I dont think Orwell would   
   have many nice words for american imperialism in the Middle East or   
   elsewhere.
