#1 Damn, this crap pisses me off with all of its prattling on about masses and intelligentsias. At least OBL is more honest, recognizing as he does that America is a democracy and that its people are responsible for its foreign policy. Of course OBL also uses this as a justification to kill us, but that's another rant. In line with Sun Tzu's dictum to know your enemy, I sometimes try to get into the heads of morons like this. Does he have to knock back a couple of stiff ones before he writes crap like this? When the government forces punitive taxes on entrepreneurs or abrogates property rights of the "masses" does he lose a minute of sleep? Does it ever strike him that the inability of him and his cronies in the "intelligentsia" to lead the "masses" is the true reason for his nation's failure? Nah, it's just easier to keep blaming whatever bogeyman is convenient at the moment. I think he hits them all: The US, UK, the Jews, the World Bank, and the IMF. Enjoy the bribes, servants and Renaults while they last, because in the game you're playing, someone meaner and hungrier is eventually going to take them away.
