On April 11, he died as a suicide bomber, part of a coordinated insurgent attack on a U.S. Marine base in the western Iraq city of Qaim. Just two days later, "the Martyrdom" of Hadi bin Mubarak Qahtani was announced on the Internet, the latest requiem for a young Saudi man who had clamored to follow "those 19 heroes" of Sept. 11 and had found in Iraq an accessible way to die. | ||

| #14 interestingly, I think the Iraqis have captured very few Iranians Iran wants Iraq to succeed. That's what Iran has always maintained. Syria and Saudi Sunnis are the trouble makers, just like the Iraqi Sunnis themselves. A Shiite dominated Iraq for Iran is like getting a Christmas gift in July. Great Satan removed Iran's worst enemy -Saddam a Sunni - and allowed a majority Shiite government to blossom in Saddam's place. What's not to like in that picture? Of course, coalition forces can't find many Iranian foreign fighters in Iraq -the reason is obvious. |

| #13 Chomsky's rhetoric is only impressive until one tries to parse his statements -- which reduce to nothing. Much like the mentality of his followers. |

| #12 Chomsky believes in his own unrestrained egotism, and can out-rhetoric anyone who says otherwise. |

| #11 How educated do they have to be? Noam Chomsky is a professor at MIT, he's educated to the point that he doesn't believe in anything, but he's still willing to carry water for islamic radicals. |

| #10 Phil. Somewhat educated belivers of any faith or creed are more dangerous due to contrasts framing their beliefs. They have not become educated enough to weaken their beliefs. Contrast helps to create the "THEM & ME" meme. |

| #8 Well they have caught the anti-westernism, westernism via education and wealth, sounds fimiliar. That we have to deal with it is total bull shit. When we find a Saudi in Iraq we should wax him on the spot in a non Martyrdom fashion. If they learn they will not be going to thier false paridise they might get discouraged and go back home and kill their coreligionists at home. |

| #7 3dc, you missed the point. These guys are, for arabs in general, much more educated and exposed to western ideals than the general populace. It's almost as if there's an anti-western westernism... |

| #6 interestingly, I think the Iraqis have captured very few Iranians could be - there aren't many - they die before being captured - the Iranians only finance terror but don't do the cannon fodder routine |

| #5 when they cut off an imam's head or two in the public square I'll start to believe they're serious. Until then it's yadda yadda yadda |

| #4 Look, the House of Saud is just doing the same as the House of Fox [El Presidente de Mexico]. Allow your problem to become the problem of your neighbor, then its no longer the big problem it could be for you and therefore you don't have to fix it. |

| #3 When are we going to get serious with the House of Saud? |

| #2 Yeah, The 1,000,000 member Saudi Clan from the corner of Saudi and Yemen. I think its time for a project Phoenix there.... |
