Coulthart is similar to an Islamist because he is unable to understand realities, that's why, he doesn't see any differences between a democratic leader and a terrorist.

hate, anger, denial never mind the article what i noticed is the comments. I see simple minds , the jews with their hate, the muslims with their anger, and our christians with their denial ....you all have destroyed the meaning of humanity you are all fruits of evil and all you believe you are correct. ill make it simple for you my friends this world is not about good VS evil its a struggle between evil and evil, none of you are righteous all of you have hate, anger and denial...see you all in hell!

japaneese and palastinians ..it is like the article ..bush and hasan ...but i want you to look to the israil after 40 years /and tell your post ...may we will be not in hell like the sk may be in paradise ..i suppose iwill be there

how could he liken Iranians to Americans? Or their leaders for that matter? I guess the author of this piece was just itching for some 'recognition'

Zionists are using holocaust as a WMD agains all the world. Which idiot can beleive that 9/11 was done by an afghan. hijacking 4 airplain at a same time and hiting them very accurately in WTO's can be done by an afghan? can you beleive that. What an idiot idea. Bush and olmert are war criminals. they killed many people in lebannon and iraq and afghanestan. are they fighting for democracy. Y they ban Hamas which are elected by people of palestine. which idiot can beleive thsese gossips from bush the murderer.

The wisdom and rational approach of the common American. I have noticed reading talkbacks that the Americans and Israelis are much more likely to hold similar views(predictably). The main difference is that the Israeli responses are usually much "smarter" in that they actually try to reason out their view. With many of the Americans, it is not realistic to expect an intelligent response. I don't know if it's because they are stupid, or because, perhaps, they have grown to defend certain views that they have little connection to, and thus never came to fully understand the basis of these views. Of course, note that this is just a trend I have noticed; I do not say this applies for all cases.

Thank you fpr shedding some light on these personalities......

I would say after reading your post to look into the mirror about your non-realistic and stupid view. You should have written something about Fadi or #35 ignorant and lying hateful posts. Of corse maybe they are stupid enuff to really believe what they write like youself.

I looked in the mirror, as you told me to. I asked myself, "Is my view that the common Americans do not usually express their views with rational support non-realistic and stupid?" Then I looked to your response for more guidance, since I imagined that if my view is indeed incorrect, you (an American) would provide rational support to the notion that my view is "non-realistic and stupid". But alas, you did not provide an explanation for why my view is "non-realistic and stupid". You just said it, in an angry tone, with nothing to back it up. Hence, your action is in complete agreement with my view. It's actually kinda creepy... Then you insisted that I should have critized some other people, with what you claimed as "ignorant and lying hateful posts". I didn't check up on Fadi, but #35 at least uses a reasoned approach. #35 states, "Bush and olmert are war criminals." Then he provides justification for his assertion "they killed many people in lebannon and iraq and afghanestan. are they fighting for democracy. Y they ban Hamas which are elected by people of palestine. ". While I do not necessarily agree, I think that you should pickup on this approach. In fact, perhaps you can try doing a better job than others; then you will be more convincing. By the way, hurling childish insults like that contained in your last sentence adds no value to the discussion. All it does is make you less respectable. Why do I have to be stupid in order to hold my view? It is like your first sentence. So I further recommend that if you intend to insult someone, give a few good reasons for it. Again, the same idea. :) I hope you take this into consideration and change your approach instead of continuing with your current approach. Perhaps you can reverse the trend I noticed... Good Luck!
