Khaled Alkotob stated July 27th 2005:
It all depends on your point of view of who is the Doctor and who is the
Germ.
Nelson Mandela was sent to jail on orders of the doctor.
The American Indian was exterminated by orders of the doctor.
See, the doctor is viewed as the one in coat and tie, speaks the queen's
English or the Fatherland's Deutsch. The more Civilized one…
Unlike a charging animal that can be stopped by a gate, a fence, a door
or a gun, these people are like bees, ants and even cancer. Those people
are a lower life form, ( in terms of their operation and structure) that
needs a different strategy to stop, PREVENT, and sometimes kill. And as
in chemotherapy, sometimes a part of you has to die in order to kill it.
Platt made the erroneous conclusion about the above paragraph, July 27th
2005:
"Thanks. With your vivid analogy you've confirmed my point about biological
terrorists."
Ant McWatt comments:
Platt,
You’re clutching at straws here by conflating political (social level)
affairs with biological analogies.
Khaled has not confirmed your point about your (non-existent) “biological
terrorists” rather – if the paragraph you quote is read in context of his
whole post – it is apparent that he has just confirmed my point about one
person’s terrorist being often seen as another person’s freedom fighter
depending on the particular cultural viewpoint taken.
Best wishes,
Anthony.
