Re: [PEN-L] pen-l conspiracy?

In the near east, the whole of histroy reads like one spy story up until now with what is happening in Iraq. and one near eastern arab would say I am often accused of conspiratorial thinking for lack of evidence to support a claim.. ex ante of course. after the fact, conspiracy unravels and speaks for itself. but is it not that class politics is by definition the conspiracy of one calss gainst another?

Galloway may be correct or not. Some mid-Easterns may consider it a
