How could anyone - even trained spies - understand the workings of

a collective intelligence that is freakin' nuts? You've done your research on the Islamists. You know these extremists operate on the lunatic fringe, a hate-filled cancer that would destroy the world if necessary to prove their insane idea is valid. President Obama, it seems to me, has been guilty of naivete, of having too little public service experience to know how the govt machine worked before he took on the job - but he is patriotic and an idealist who believes in human rights - I like him.

Well, they say ignorance is bliss. Let's hope Mr. Obama isn't going for sainthood! Didn't know, or didn't want to know. Hmmm . . . difficult to say for sure. Well, whichever, just make sure your consultant fee is a huge one . . .

I suppose it did come into strength quickly.  I suppose it was difficult to choose which was the worst for a start .

People believe what they want to believe (usually until it is too late to do anything about it).
