Excellent. I would hate to think your mind so dull that you would think the world was involved in jihad against itself, as opposed to a group of radical islamists involved in jihad against the rest of the world. Or that we all burn each other's books as opposed to a group of radical islamists that burn the books and other property of those they consider infidels.

Now, since I'm more of a plain spoken person who is easily confused by those who speak in metaphors, riddles and parables, what did you mean by this?:

Do you wish that our bureaucrats were more radical in the classic sense of wanting to destroy the government so it can be rebuilt in their own image, or more radical in their approach to fighting radical islamist terrorism?
