Insanity, Part II

There are those who insist that the Radical-Militant-Islamic-Terrorist-Fundamentalist's (please select any two or three of your choice) are using images of US Mistreatment-Abuse-Torture (select any one of your choice) of Muslim men to inflame rank and file Muslims. They do this, it is said, with the purpose of increasing the intensity of the conflict between the United States and Islam.
There are those likewise who insist that George W. Bush is making a stupid mistake in giving these R-M-I-T-F(please see above) fuel for their fulminations.
Why is there no one making the connection - the President has precisely the same stake in the conflict as the R-M-I-T-F'ers. His power increases as the threat increases; therefore it is to his benefit to insure that the threat increases. Just as it is to the benefit of the R-etc.
That is why the conflict widens; the threat grows. The leadership of both sides are stoking the flame.
Remarkably, the citizens of the Late, Great, United States of America (The United States of Amnesia - Gore Vidal) are now in favor of attacking Iran, because surely Bush wouldn't try to cry wolf yet again, untruthfully! If you'll keep buying it, the President will surely keep selling it.
Suckers!
