Opinions, views and perspectives are like arseholes - we all have one (upto and including niko) ;o) so I have to say again, niko dosent lack perspective - perhaps he just dosen't share yours. Iraqi citizens have perspectives too, and theirs (I imagine) is that they are being occupied by an invading force and they like most people will fight to keep their country sovereign. They would call themselves freedom fighters, others would call them terrorists. Again, this is perspective. If America was invaded by Canada (I can hear them sharpening their ice skates as I write) or Mexico then I'm sure you would take up arms to defend your country. We all would. They are doing exactly the same. One thing I must disagree with is your point that if our subways were bombed then America would help. Since before I was born until the end of the 20th Century, Britain was being bombed by 'terrorsists' or 'freedom fighters' (IRA) and the USA would not defend us - In fact there is evidence they were arming them. The U.S like Britain before it, is in the process of Empire building. Its no secret, the Wolfowitz/Rumsfeld & Co. think tanks have produced documents in the public domain admitting as much. They do not want to spread democracy - such a thing dosent exist! If the governments and ruling elites were truly virtuous, why havent they put an end to Mugabes reign in Zimbabwe? They want to get their hands on a rapidly diminishing natural resource and the world knows it. ~Enter Afghanistan and Iraq There was no 'mistake in intelligence' as they would have you believe - dont let their apologies appease their actions. They have been after that desert for heaven knows how long, they just needed the right time and circumstances to do it. They (the governments we employ) know that right now they can do whatever they goddam want to and get away with it because the citizens are too apathetic to do anything about it. This is true all over the world. But thats just my perspective. ps. Many people will find your last comment 'we are saints compared to the types of people we are dealing with' to be the very thing they find grossly arrogant and ignorant about US policy. If any nation wishes to remove terrorism from the world they must first stop embarking on it.[/quote]
