History Lesson from Professor Juan Cole

Fisking the "War on Terror"

Which begins:

Once upon a time, a dangerous radical gained control of the US Republican Party.

Hint: He is not George W. Bush, but I cried when he was elected and re-elected, too.

Prof. Cole traces the history of Al Qaida and radical Muslims, the demon spawn created by the Republican Party. A must read.


What is "Fisking", you ask? I didn't know either, so I went to the Wikipedia:

Fisking

Fisking, or to Fisk, refers to the act of critiquing, often in minute detail, an article, essay, argument, etc. with the intent of challenging its conclusion or theses by highlighting logical fallacies and incorrect facts.


Noontime Update: This post formerly contained an amusing typo, "radical Muslins", which has been corrected. Quilters beware.
