#1 Interesting take on the whole conspiracy issue; on the other hand, would they even bother to believe us? They ask their holy men which hand to use when wiping their asses; I wonder whether our counter-propaganda wouldn't just be dismissed as infidel lies. Although there's always the chance that we'll reach people who use their brains instead of their Korans . . .

The thing about conspiracy theories in the Middle East is that they've been around for a very, very long time. Their systems of tribal/cultural interaction have moved on them for centuries (probably since before the birth of Mohammed, but that's just a guess on my part). It's always going to be easier for them to believe that it's a conspiracy then it will be for them to accept certain facts which they might not appreciate.

Of course, if the tsunami was caused by decadent practices, one wonders what caused those Iran earthquakes. Allah not too happy with the mullahs?
