The ridiculousness follows from the irrelevance of your post to the situation.
I don't support aid to Israel, nor keeping Afghanistan in penury, nor militarizing the TW, nor keeping 'agents like OBL,' nor "war with the middle east." Nor do I favor crotch rash, except in special cases. So what?
Yoshie's statement is close the mark of proper concerns, though it suffers from some crimson kneejerks: no chauvinism vis-a-vis ethnic groups in or outside the U.S., no collective punishment, no military adventurism (tho this is subject to interpretation).
Does this mean you won't be inviting me over for tea and crumpets to ruminate on the withering away of the State?

Well come on then, gobshite, tell me what you disagree with. You want to carry on giving military aid to Israel? You want to keep Afghanistan in penury? You want to militarise the Third World, and keep agents (like Osama bin Laden)? You want to make war with the middle east?
Look where it has got you so far.
