Does it actually breed it? I don’t believe one needs to be a fundamentalist to
be intolerant. I have come across many intolerant liberals lately, though I
doubt they’d ever admit it. I’m wondering: in order to be truly intolerant,
does one necessary need to act out on one’s beliefs? That is a key question in
my mind. Everybody believes that they have a correct world view (otherwise
they’d change it, no?) and so in some sense, we are all intolerant of other
views. But if I don’t actually kill you for your views, then you could say I’m
tolerant of them, but still believe you to be wrong. And if I can’t tolerate
your views, I act out in some manner.
So, fundies obviously believe that you are going to hell, but what actually
makes them act out to picket/bomb/etc? I can’t actually accept a causality
between the two, though I can understand why one would precipitate the other.
Short response: liberals act out in anger to ideas they don’t like, too. I need
another reason for the violence.

Seriously, what did happen to them? Do we agree that they actually once
existed?

Heck, yes! We gave them to him, after all!
As far as what happened to them, I understand that there are several likely
theories:
1. He used them all
|
Ok, then why let on that you still had them, even to the point of being deposed.
| |
2. He destroyed them after Desert Storm
|
Ok, then why let on that you still had them, even to the point of being deposed?

3. They were destroyed during Desert Storm
|
Ok, then why let on that you still had them, even to the point of being deposed?
| |
4. They degraded to the point of non-viability
|
Again, why let on that you still had them, even to the point of being deposed?
It doesn’t make sense to me.

But it is clear that they were not smuggled into Syria prior to the start
of the current war.

What is this new book out claiming that very thing by a SH pilot? I Need to
check that out.
