Dan said, “You’re a generally thoughtful and reasonable in your posts. The only time I found your thinking limited is with regards to our former enemies. I am honestly really curious as to what a person (dare I say, “intellectual”) who clearly internalizes national and combat related views regarding national character would think upon directly experiencing the object of his contempt. I mean that.”

Dan,

The idiosyncrasy affecting Allan’s superior intellect affects his views of our current “enemies” as well
Although he will deny it, Allan’s superior intellectuality suffers from a deeply ingrained sense of “special providence” for the homeland. Use your admirable knowlege base and so so intellect to debate him on Islam and our Middle Eastern “enemies” and it will be confirmed.( I know you did that already). Whenever Russia or China do something he doesn’t like you will observe the same breakdown.(or at least I think I do)

He also is wrong to hold the idea of “enemies” as a sacred and valid concept.In my opinion we are just universally to stupid and selfish to rise above it but we don’t have to actually cherish the concept.These views, if they don’t actually define animosity or harken war, sustain both.

I am just getting back at you Allan for telling Shadowfax I am “wrong”. Go ahead let me have it.
