A War of Ideas

(2)

And as usual I am not in the mood for revenge at this point. Maybe later. Maybe next week.

Concerning 'heads' it seems they found the heads of the Bali suicide bombers. One of my favorite national news programs showed a picture of one of them, and as I watched it I thought, 'Boy you sure do look dead!' It was at that point that I wrote the note on the back of an envelope. Later, as I thought about what I had seen, I wondered what the sucker had looked like before he blew himself up. Then I thought, 'What a great idea for a website! Before and after!' (boom)

Therefore I hereby propose such a website. That website should be devoted to displaying 'before and after' photographs of suicide bombers' faces (heads). In many cases (being gassed here... low dose of lung gas - 5 1) the heads can be found, I think. Those cases would be perfect candidates for such a web site. The viewer could either savor the change of expression on those faces, or deplore the unsavory taste of the web site depending on his (or her) personal political view. In any case, I think that such a web site would be extremely popular all over the world.

In those cases where a head was unavailable a patch of skull would do. Even a microscopic photograph of brain cells would work. The idea would be, 'See the contrast between the living and the dead, and enjoy the fact that you are still alive.'

Furthermore such a site would serve to debunk the idea that 'martrydom is glorious,' and instill the idea that 'martrydom is ugly and stupid.' Such a site would tend to piss off the Muslims no end, of course. But the ideas that piss you off tend to be remembered, and ultimately those ideas will often prevail (being gassed here).
