Read Bacon and re-read it, and see how feverishly you worship the idols he goes against.
It seems like critical thinking hardly applies to your ardent and sad dogmatism.
Practicing one thing and preaching the opposite - oh, how enigmatic the way of retorics can be.

As to views and attitudes -some can be adopted by a person based on sheer economic
and social benefits.
Yet, in other cases, such belief systems, once assuming a sound ontological status based on economic or social reality, can wavelike infiltrate into wider circles.
It is nevertheless useful to elucidate their origins

No, I talked about a spread of ideas.
You may hold some views that are not affecting directly your situation, even if this is not the case with many other people, whose views are of existential relevance

Secondly, it seems that your comment assumed my lack of openess to your views initially, and not vice versa

Could you give reasons why this is not a valid argument?
He demonstrates a reasonable defense against Psychological warefare, and what you do?
You rename it, and say it is an extension of an analogy.
What the hell are you talking about?
Is it not a precedential instance?
Please note the all the Anglo-american law is based on the pragmatics of precedential instances
Could you give any reasons what is wrong about precedential cases applying to similar circumstances?
Man, is this bullshit necessary? and for whom?.

Why did US ban any interviews with El-Kaida speakers?
In interviews, like in any other suggestive circumstances, one can be induced by the speaker's retorics and suggestions.
Giving a propagandist broadcasting resources to deliver his messages is nothing but allowing his propaganda to capture his target audience

Are you out of your mind?

An interview can be far more effective than a monologue, once assuming the format of a lively dialogue

It contains turns - to encompass wider scope - and
emphases for focusing. These, mind you, are not self-initiated but initiated by the other person, to capture attention and to gain access for propoganda through current issues of interest

And furthermore, it withdraws attention from questions not asked, such as "why did you respond with war to Barak offers of much more than initially agreed upon"

Since it gives the illusion of responding to current
agenda, it has an "actuality value" which can still endow a worn-out propaganda with a disguise of confronting important issues.

The British people was rather confident in his war efforts to defend its freedoms
and values
So were the Americans.
Nevertheless, free-speech rights for the enemy's views
was not part of the war effort, since
words can sometimes themselves be a hostile act
Please note that even the worst scum of earth and the
greatest bastard can
often utter eloquent claims to confuse its audience

As I wrote before, this sounds to me like the style and line (concerning "the right of return) of Dr. Sery Nusseyba

The article conveys certain tone of generosity and kindness, not being capable of having been written by that witch - dripping all over with grudge and bitter irony
It seems to have been written by Dr. Sery Nusseyba

. Security for the Israelis and the Palestinians will only be achieved through the peace process in accordance with international legitimacy and the signed agreements - namely the Tenet understandings and the Mitchell report recommendations - which entail the complete Israeli withdrawal from Arab and Palestinian Territory, beginning with Holy Jerusalem.

Sounds to me like having been written by Sery Nusseyba

Well, if his line is domineering now rather than the extremists, something good may have come out of all this

It seems to a product of the English Department in the Arafat Authority Regime. Hanan Ashrawi or Sery Nusseyba, for instance. I suppose those people are in tragic situation, because they can realize the hopeless position which Mr. Arafat is part of it.

Then again, they may be, and probably are, completely unrepresentative of the situation in the West Bank and Gaza, which is decentralized in the extreme.
