But my point is that it wasn't a legitimate argument from authority. Do I know what assholes the janjanjaweed can be? Yes. Does having been on Sudanese soil mean that I know crap about their history... Or anything about what's going on in Khartoum (which I've flown through but never really been to)? No.

And I laugh at your boyfriend smash urges, especially considering that in said argument I was one of the most aggressive participants.(And was a touch concerned you might get irritated at me for starting things on your lj...)
