   at QOAE, [1]spake The Arnold:

     If I read [Dean] correctly, he sees anti-islamism mostly as
     old-fashioned religious bigotry. This kind of demeanor and the
     behavior it masks, mostly clouds any argument we can make about
     responding rationally and effectively to the Islamofascism that has
     been a real threat to the rest of the world, including islamic
     societies that we of the West might otherwise be able to engage in
     accommodation of the type that we have with some of the cultures of
     southeast Asia that are neither christian nor islamic.

     In this light, he drew his line in the sand as a sort of defense
     mechanism against what he sees as a trend that threatens rather
     than aids the war against terrorism.

   Frack can that guy cut through the bullcrap when he wants to or what?
   I hereby name The Arnold, The Oracle at Mount Horeb. Remember: oracles
   are irascible, ornery critters. So don't poke at 'em. Just shut up and
   listen. And trow away about 90%, because that last 10% is pure gold, I
   tell you what.
