gaining......

All fundamentalists are out to seek divisions in order to draw more
crowds towards them. The state of war in the Middle East can be
partly attributed to the Right-Wing Christian Republican support
from Jerry Falwell and his ilk, as is the massivce insurgency of
2004/2005 which is fueled by a patchwork of Muslim fundamentalists
not limited to Al-Qaeda in Iraq, the earlier days of Moqtada
Al-Sadr and his Mahdi Army and the Iranian funded Shi'ite brigades
operating under the guise of the ING (Iraqi National Guard).
In fact, the List Party of Alawi and Maliki was the only grouping
which was broad-minded enough to garner enough personnel to man the
new Parliament, instead of the Shi'ites who insisted on fighting
their own war and skipping the political process entirely until the
end of 2005.
Even the IRA had twin wings of political engagement and bloody
murder in the streets of Cork and Dublin.
Now many might see me as going OT, but I'm just painting (no pun
intended) a picture of the fallacy of extremism as a tool to
achieve long term aims. [/b]
