#1 I think individuals like Zarqawi or bin Laden don't actually matter.

Cos thats what Marx said.

Otherwise, when I read this I thought Fisk has become throroughly Arabicised, by immersing himself in the Arab blame the 'other' thinking, where everything is somebody elses fault and can always be proved to be someone elses fault through enough convoluted 'logic' and sufficiently deep conspiracies.

#2 ASIANEWS has an article describing the general steady, negative decline of Arab and Muslim nations, Arabism and Islamism, such that [like the Commies-Secular SOcialists], the only choices Arabists and Muslims have is either to continue unto self-oblivion or else wage regional-global wars for conquest. Radical Muslims are God/Faith-based Lefties-Anarchists-Bolsheviks-Maxists-COmmunists, etc. As good Lefties and God/Faith-based Socialists, "the Few" soeak for the Many/Masses. As here in America, everyone is innocent or everyone is guilty, no in-betweens, which is why one or a few Lefties speaks or decides for 300+ Milyuhn, and why eight years of Clintonian anti-Republicanism/Rightism Republicanism-Rightism absolutely and undeniably verified and justified Leftism-Socialism includ Communism-Totalitarianism once, before, and forever, ergo America was attacked on 9-11 in a WOT = also WAR TO SAVE, PROMOTE, and ENTRENCH SOCIALISM-COMMUNISM ON AMERICA + WEST + ALL THE WORLD. For the PC Radical Islamist, to be PC means to be anti-American in the defense of Ilsam, for US-Internat Secular Lefties, it means being so-called "ANTI-FASCISTS", i.e. anti-Rightist Socialists SOCIALISTS, i.e. Commies-Leftist Totalitarianists.

#3 Its always ironic when an erudite wordsmith like the Chomskyite Fisk critiques the vehicles of perception. They never shy away from advancing a theory difficult to disprove yet when asked for corroboration they practice the same deceptive double-talk they profess to loath.

Recently when asked to elaborate on his inference that external forces, presumably the West, actually desire the sectarian conflict in Iraq to devolve into full-blown civil war Fisk replied;

"You know, if I could give you the answer to that story, it would be on the front page of my newspaper tomorrow morning, and I don't know the answer. And its very difficult to say, Look, I dont think its this. I think its something else without telling you what the other is."

Bestialisation...Indeed!
