They figure that if they repeat the same thing over and over again, someone will believe it and there is one more for their cause. The spaghetti on the wall philosophy. Typically these lemings don't bother with even rudamentary filling in of their profiles, and don't answer direct questions posed regarding their posts. So I will ask you 1 question Malvo, and see how well you do on the leming test ...
Why would Israel unleash a Shiite majority nation that was ruled by a moderate Bathist who kept order in Iraq ? Iraq is after all a buffer country between Israel and Iran .. a nasty little Shiite country. We wouldn't. Our position now is 50 times worst than it was while Sadam al Tikriti was in power. I could actually tear this articel apart from start to finish, but I'm not wasting my time on lemings.
PS. Thanks Abu-afak (love the name). Your good eye and apparent knowledge of years of propaganda illustrate my point regarding these serial propagandists such as malvo, who would be lost in an actual debate and so resort to posting pre packaged propaganda. Good eye mate

Hello Janglo
I've been using abu for 5+ years. You really can't beat it for biting message even before you post. Great on Any board, especially Arab ones. especially after they look up who he is. Sometimes it takes months.
Now there's a big controversy as to the story of aa despite the fact we know about him exclusively thru Muslim's own literature.. I really opened a can of worms posting on scores of boards and re-popularizing the old guy.
As to your point.. one of my favorite articles of recent years:
Originally NY Times (Peter Brooks), now SMH
How the Neocons are taking over the world - or Not.
http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/...268035178.html
"....Still, there are apparently millions of people who cling to the notion that the world is controlled by well-organised and malevolent forces. And for a subset of these people, Jews are a handy explanation for everything.
There's something else going on, too. The proliferation of media outlets and the segmentation of society have meant that it's much easier for people to hive themselves off into like-minded cliques. Some people live in towns where nobody likes Bush. Others listen to radio networks where nobody likes Bill Clinton.
In these communities, half-truths get circulated and exaggerated. Dark accusations are believed because it is delicious to believe them. The White House aide Vince Foster was murdered. The Saudis warned the Bush Administration before the September 11 attacks.
You get to choose your own reality. You get to believe what makes you feel good. You can ignore inconvenient facts so rigorously your picture of the world is one big distortion.
And if you can give your foes a collective name - liberals, fundamentalists or neo-cons - you can rob them of their individual humanity. All inhibitions are removed. You can say anything about them. You get to feed off their villainy and luxuriate in your own contrasting virtue.
You will find books, blowhards and candidates playing to your delusions, and you can emigrate to your own version of Planet Chomsky.
You can live there unburdened by ambiguity.
Improvements in information technology have not made public debate more realistic. On the contrary, anti-Semitism is resurgent. Conspiracy theories are prevalent. Partisanship has left many people unhinged..."

Don't know how to open pictures here (tried a few methods).. but this cartoon is also a Classic I think for the internet and many of the 'whatreallyhappened'/counterpunch/antiwar/ZMAG crowd.
