The more I see what is going on over there, the more the insurgents remind me of our own Democrats. Our Democrats were all talk about "fairness," "opportunity," "equalitity,"
then they fell out of power and now are nothing but nonstop fountains of hate and obstruction. They revealed their true selves and all they ever wanted was a hold on power.

The Iraqi insurgents were the same way. "Allah this." "Allah that." "Kill the infidels!" All of that silly crap. When this failed to win anyone over, they turn on other Muslims. It is all about power hiding behind the facade of a barbaric religion.

"The savior who wants to turn men into angels is as much a hater of human nature as the totalitarian despot who wants to turn them into puppets."

"There are similarities between absolute power and absolute faith: a demand for absolute obedience, a readiness to attempt the impossible, a bias for simple solutions--to cut the knot rather than unravel it, the viewing of compromise as surrender, the tendency to manipulate people and "experiment with blood." Both absolute power and absolute faith are instruments of dehumanization. Hence absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power." --E. Hoffer
