Cool, this is exactly what I have in mind. Meme warfare in which
we have some means of implanting the notion in OBL and all his
followers that the sacred text exhorts them to fight the west by verbal,
mental, non-verbal struggle. Impress them that they fight us by being
a better example. This is exactly the kind of meme warfare I have in
mind. Now how do we implant that meme? spike
