OK. That's it. If you are equating conspiracy theories with the things Peach posted, I am done discussing this.

I won't be rude, but simply will say good night.

The term "conspiracy theory" is not meant to be perjorative. It's meant to be literal. The argument of both Mylroie and Woolsey is that the Islamic terrorists are an Iraqi front, if I understand it correctly. That is the definition of a conspiracy, isn't it?

Again, I won't be rude, but lets just say that's an .....interesting.....theory.

The whole Islamic world is in an uproar. Terrorism is occurring from Indonesia in the east to America and Europe in the west. Fundamentalism is on the march. Iraq is not the mastermind of this chaos, but it is certainly now caught up in it.
