M. Moore meet A. M. al-Zarqawi

Paratrooper at Moore-watch lines up two quotes and lets the reader figure it out. bq. al-Zarqawi puts it bluntly enough for even Moore to understand

�The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not �insurgents� or �terrorists� or �The Enemy.� They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow�and they will win.� - Michael Moore, 4/14/2004

"We have declared a fierce war on this evil principle of democracy and those who follow this wrong ideology,� �Anyone who tries to help set up this system is part of it� - Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, 1/22/05

bq. Most of us didn�t have to hear it put so bluntly from the �insurgents� to know what the hell is going on over there. Perhaps this will serve as the cramming-down-the-throat of reality that Moore needs to realize that this war is ideological. Some of you scoff at the �They Hate Our Freedoms� point of view, but you can count on at least on more person who subscribes to the theory whole heartedly: al-Zarqawi himself. bq. You�d think that at some point, Moore would be more angry at the terrorists, insurgents, and detractors than he is with his own countrymen, but alas, I guess being mad at the bad guys just doesn�t play at the box office. Moore has got to eventually pull his head out of his ass and realize that the hatred these folks feel towards us goes back a long long way, even before the evil George Bush took office ( as if anything existed before Bush, as far as Moore is concerned). My guess is that this statement will go largely un-commented upon by the More, for there are too many cheap shots to be taken at Bush and his cabinet to be bothered with a statement such as this from a terrorist who has killed Americans with his own hands. Well said. The situation over there is about as plain as day and we are doing very good work. The "insurgents" are fighting for a lot more than this election. If democracy gets a foothold over there, the top-down theocratic governments will topple and be pulled down by their own citizenry. They have ridden high off their people for too long...
