Thanks to the sheer anal-retentive thoroughness of your culture, I have hit upon a heap of useful information for my master's thesis.
I love each and every one of you miserable pasty gits and owe you all pints.

Meanwhile, Ap is tied up in a basement somewhere, sobbing and quietly praying that MP actually feeds him before the next round of "loving"....
I'm afraid to ask but, What's your thesis on Mr. Malkovich?
Terrorist Maritime Enterprises and how to get at them.

Actually MP I just found out that Jason Burke (author of 'Al qaeda..the true story of radical islam) trains kickboxing at the same place as my BJJ class...youve read his book right?
NF,
No, I haven't. Terrorism, AQ, the middle east are very popular subjects right now so I'm sure there's all kinds of literature (of varying quality) that I've not gotten to.
To be honest, it's all starting to sound the same - proof I've sort of mined it out.
What's his principle thesis?
"We could move to England...all we'd have to worry about is drive by debating."
"Oh Nigel!.....I DISAGREE!"
Actually, it's home invasions you need to worry about, as the Brit subjects have no right to defend themselves.

That ALQ is not an ideologically uniform top down hierachal structure that will evaporate once the leadership is killed/arrested.
Instead it is a loose network of networks which if it ever did exist in any identifiable form would be between 1996 - 2001.
That Bin Ladens primary role is as figure head/facillitator rather than commander per se. That many of the ALQ attributed terrorist acts since the end of Afghan war were in fact developed planned and carried out by independant cells, often with local agendas but who recieved either basic training, logistical support or funds from Bin Laden.
Also gives very good history of Islam and middle east: Post Colonialism, Pan Arabian Nationalism, Political Islam, Radical Islam militancy and finally local issues such as Kashmir, Algerian civil war, Afghan/soviet conflict, Bosnia etc.

NF,
Fairly standard stuff. Not to disparage his work, mind you, but yeah, that sounds about right.
However, he needs to remember that there IS such a thing as "AQ." Members have taken a personal oath of fealty to UBL. It's sort of the "A" team of international Islamic Terrorism.
No we do. Its just that English Law contains this weird test of 'Force that is (objectively) reasonable and proportionate to the threat as you (subjectively) believed it to be'. So gunning down an unarmed 16 year old boy for breaking into your farm isnt considered reasonable or proportionate. Strange isnt it?Quote:
