   Let's put that in context, hmmkay?   
      
       Bonzo:  A free Iraq is good for the US and good for Arabs   
               who can see a better way in that than the endless   
               strong man dictatorships they have had or the fantasy   
               of Sharia extremism.   
      
       Stan:   Oh, you mean like in Saudi Arabia where all but one   
               of the 9/11 terrorists came from?   
      
       Bonzo:  You're boring. Try to come up with something that   
               hasn't been shot down in flames a thousand bloody   
               times.   
      
       Clave:  What's been shot down?   
      
       Bonzo:  The stupid claim that Saudi Arabia is at fault because   
               al Qaeda chose to use mostly Saudi al Qaeda operatives   
               in the 9/11 attacks.   
      
   Stan never claimed that.   
      
   It's a classic, if rather stupid, even for strawmen, Bonzo strawman.   
      
      
   > He then asked   
      
   No, that was me.  You should pay closer attention to whom you're responding.   
      
      
   > what was shot down and I explained it. No strawman argument from me.   
      
   All you shot was your own crank.
