Yeah, there's always been an active "lunatic fringe" in the States and
elsewhere that'll believe anything at all. But I didn't really count you as one
of them, since you're not totally crazy and surely can think of people like
Saddam Hussein, Mullah Omar and for that matter Yassir Arafat who were
definitely _not_ "put in place" by the CIA or anyone else except themselves.
How about Slobodan Milosevic and the Syrian "president" Assad, to name a couple
more?

I often wonder how you can simultaneously consider the US administration such a
heap of stupid bumblers - and at the same time so crafty and powerful that they
can - and do - determine who's in power in every country in the world. The
contradiction in logic is so extreme I would have thought you would reject such
a thought out of hand.

But I guess prejudice blinds so thoroughly that even George Orwell's
"doublethink" becomes possible. Have a nice day, comrade...

Cheers, Bob
