143. Missed the point

"When a Sunni packs a car full of explosives and blows it up in a crowded marketplace, no one is coercing him into that action. The buck stops with him. He is responsible for his actions."

Of course, if the explosives were put into the car by the CIA, and the detonation occurs as the result of a CIA agent pulling the trigger... but that wasn't my example.

Unless you think that any and all violence in Iraq is being ordered and organized by the CIA, you haven't addressed my point. Do you think that? Each act of Iraqi-on-Iraqi violence is a product of the CIA?

And, of course, you'd need evidence for that.
