As for the populations of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, I do care about them, and more besides, just not for the purposes of this thread, which was an inspection of the fascinating and yes, ludicrous, attempt to make an ideology sandwich of the Communist liberation of Che Guevara and the rigid autotheocracy of reactionary violent Islamists.

No one has challenged the premised story (once I got it into the thread) even though it appeared in the dreaded Post.

There are plenty of other threads to rail at our horrid American excesses.
