That's why, it seems like the assassination attempts are more about reassuring his US supporters that he's still the man... But, you know, if they're real, they're real.

You have had one spectacular event (9/11)that you can dismiss as a fluke. For people in Uzbekistan, Chechnya and Pakistan what Islamism means is loud and clear. It means Taliban. I realize that the instinctive leftie reaction is that all attacks against oppressive governments must have good-heartedness at their base, but it just isn't so. Islamism, in the Talibanist sense of the term, is the ideological basis for most Central Asian "liberation" movements. Do you really want these people to come to power? They're real all right. --- joanna <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:123hop@comcast.net"><123hop@comcast.net></a> wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Assuming you believe that these foiled plots are real.
