Subject: RE: BS: Meet the new boss...same as the old boss
I have not attempted to justify their actions, Amergin.

The question, "What is with these psycho/sociopathic murderers?" was asked, and I attempted to answer it.

And I don't agree that they would necessarily be committing these crimes if their countries were not being bombed into oblivion by the US and/or crushed under the heels of our puppet dictators.

Since you don't live in one of the countries where the US has been meddling and creating total chaos and/or propping up brutal dictators, you don't even know how you would respond to such acts of aggression if you lived in one of the target countries.

It's quite a fallacious illusion for you or anyone to assume that you wouldn't be doing precisely the same things that "these psycho/sociopathic murderers" are doing if you found yourself in their shoes.

The US has killed many, many more tens of thousands of them than they have killed of us. To suggest that they are any more "psycho/sociopathic murderers" than we are is the height of hypocrisy.

But perhaps you don't consider the brown skinned people of the Middle East to be fully human or something, and that's why you only consider it a crime to kill us but not a crime to kill them.
