That's a very broad claim. Of course, you probably didn't really mean that,
but are hoping that I'll just have read what you meant to say. I'm somewhat
unclear whether 'you could say' refers to the aforementioned citizens of
countries in the Middle East who might use that term, or whether you are
claiming that my having stated that they use that term demonstrates that
I am incapable of reasoning.

Is it the case that we've left? I dunno whether that happened or not.

I think that in the current world climate, a country in that region
whose rulers said 'No' to the US would soon find that their country
needed regime change, and might even find themselves part of Evil Axis.

Of course. Since we disagree, it's obvious that I am only trying to
make things less clear. Funny, that.
