Default Re: Any thoughts on whether we could have another Iraq/middle east discussion?

Fundamentalism. I'm beginning to think this word has the same problem that liberal had: a smear campaign.

All fundamental means it that base principles are adhered to. In a way, all of us are really fundamentalists. Some are more honest about it, though. The "liberals" are fundmentalists in their religion of equal rights, wealth redistribution for fairness, helping the poor and many other completely laudable goals. If you are stubborn and fight for any principle, you are in the same mold as a "fundamentalist". The difference is only WHICH principles you fight for.

C'mon guys. Be good liberals and see where these "fundamentalists" are coming from. It's not their fault. They are fighting hard, enduring hardship and keeping the faith to better mankind. Just like you.
