I'm not sure if he thought that but if he did then he was irrational and perhaps even deranged. For example, how could children possibly be responsible? How could the man or woman that just goes to work and wants to live a happy and peaceful life without hurting anyone or imposing religious values on others be responsible just based on where they were born? You don't need to respond, they are rhetorical questions. But I'd say these are examples of "innocent" people. Most people in the world, including Isrealis and Muslims just want to live peacefully and go about their lives. It's the religious extremists on both sides that have fucked the middle east and who are now fucking the world. Bryn didn't seem to have a very balanced perspective on this issue. He didn't seem to recognize that both sides are responsible for this mess. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
