actually, the term "Devil's Advocate" comes from the Catholic Church, when a person put up for Canonization (big fancy word that means "to be made a saint")someone in the church would be appointed "the Devil's Advocate" whether they were allied with Lucifer or not. now, the term means that you are simply presenting evidence that something many ppl believe to be good is in fact bad.

No, I don't think so. The fundamentalist Muslims that I've known wouldn't have anything to do with anything western except in a very heavy handed "know your enemy" sort of way--kinda the way a lot of bloggers want us to read the Koran. They tend to see western culture and ideas as a disease that is destroying their world. Any Al-Qeda dudes aren't sitting around debating terrorism, they're living it.
And of course, Terrorists don't see themselves as "terrorists" any more than fascists see themselves as "fascists." Terrorists are merely doing what's necessary to achieve political power in a world where their people have no hope and fascists merely think that their country and its leaders are just a little bit infalible; they believe it's really just a matter of common sense that their great country should rule the world and no one in their right mind would ever question it. Those who do are morons and mentally ill and, ooh, I almost forgot "helping the terrorists."
"V: etc." is a rich and rewarding fantasy of personal empowerment with pretentions of political relevance. Gotta give them Matrix boys props for going for all the marbles, but you gotta admit the actual movie fell somewhat short of the mark in the final reel.
Hugo none the less hit it out of the park and Natalie actually made me believe that Evey Hammond wasn't simply a deluded victim who'd fallen for her abuser--something even Alan Moore couldn't do in the original graphic novel.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.
