Burly...
...first, I assume you're assessing my stupidity partly on the strength this post (otherwise, why would you comment here?)
However, if you'd bother to read it - or read it all the way to the end - you'd have noticed it wasn't written by me, but by Howard Zinn, professor emeritus of political science at Boston University.
Boston. That's in America, isn't it? Even stupid ol' me knows that! And Prof Zinn didn't get to a position like that by being stupid.
Second, I loved your word "contributed". This is a continuation of the stunningly simplistic and insidious idea put forward by the Shrub, along the lines of "You're either with us, or you're with the terrorists".
This is not designed to be in any way true. It is designed to silence dissent, silence the critics. And in a nation of supposedly free speech, too!
It is perfectly possible to be appalled at the acts of terrorism (on both sides), to be dead against terrorism as a strategy, and also be dead against the clumsy, ludicrous way in which the problem is currently being tackled by our so-called "leaders".
But maybe that's a bit to complex for you to grasp - a bit too much grey for someone that appears only to be able to handle Black and White.
Thanks for reading.

It's useless trying to point out your stupidity because you don't realize it yourself. The first of the underground bombers hasn't brought you to your senses.. I hope there are no more but if there are, you contributed.
