It's bitter to think that the most stunning revelation in the last post was that Microwave apparently *thinks*.

=================
I have to wonder if Microwave and mooghead are both one and in all the same person, considering their similar penchants for dissing most other users here plus not contributing anything much to the topic at hand itself.

TQ: I see where you're getting at, though I still think that labelling the party as Nazi does very little to help
or clarify anything. I don't know a thing about the politics in your country, but whenever I come across radical
statements such as these you mentioned I try hard to look beyond the cloud of irrationalism to understand what real
questions the extremists are striving - however poorly and misguidedly - to address. Take, say, the question
regarding the links between left-wing groups, parties and intellectuals and Islamic organizations - this is
a real issue. They're not making that up entirely. They may have misread the reality and depicted it in a
distorted way, but there's some truth to their claims.
Take Brazil, for instance. All left-wing parties, including the one which is ruling the country
right now and still defines itself as a left-wing alternative, and most of the left-wing intellectuals are
staunch supporters of Iran, which is hardly a moderate political force. This political arrangement resulted in
Brazil's refusal to go along with almost the whole international community in backing sanctions against the Iranian nuclear-program. Brazil actively supports Venezuela, which is suspected to maintain relations with terrorist groups.
The Brazilian President has equated on record the protesters who were ruthlessly beaten up by the Iranian Guard to
the plaintive supporters of a defeated football squad.
Finally, Brazil was the first country to acknowledge the legitimacy of the outcome of the Iranian elections - and it
did so just a couple of hours after the result had been pronounced...
Likewise, there is a very well-coordinated effort to dismiss any harsher critique of Israel as anti-semitism. It isn't proof of a Jewish conspiracy, to be sure, but it does help increase and foster anti-semitic feelings.

Don't worry Yara, TQ is always comparing things to Nazi Germany. I actually think he'd welcome it's rebirth.

No you and I are both one and the same.
Because you just popped in this thread to "diss" me and not contribute anything much to the topic at hand itself.
Damn, even my fingers felt funny typing the above line. Nice English, Inu-lugey. "Not contributing anything much".
