Now, whatever could have given you that peculiar notion, larc?
The utter truth of Norm's point is what produced the rage in the Idiotic Class and the Impotent Class. I was merely an innocent bystander - indeed, a victim! Disturbed from my catnap.
For the country that MADE Osama bin-Laden and MADE Saddam Hussein and MADE and PROPPED UP any number of other murderous, barbaric, extremist crackpot dictators and terrorist regimes all round the globe while playing "World Power", NOW GOES ON TO ALLY ITSELF with yet another genocidal criminal.
And those who point this out are criticized and attacked by the Ignorant Chattering Class!
Now, what is any self-respecting leopard snoozing in the tree above the noisemakers to do other than to gently tap the the heads of these misbegotten miscreants?
From the earliest history of the human race until the present day, it has been a history of the strong dominating, enslaving and/or killing the weak. This is true of small tribes, nation-states, and countries. Now, if the oppresor enlists God on his side, this creates the kind of fanatic warriers you need to win. Many wars are fought in the name of God, but they all have their roots in money or resources, whether it be gold, oil, coal, or water, etc."
Correct. The only modification I would make to the above is to append to "weak" the words "or peaceful".
While stealing is considered wrong within a group, it is common place between groups.
Surely so. Poor alien resident... The Jews were not alone in having their "religious" texts reassure them that stealing from, and even the murder of, people outside their "group" was not just wrong but actually commendable.
While people have a romantic notion regarding native american's, they were not excempt from this phenomena among their tribes before the white man got here.
Surely so! But - not that you suggest this - this fact in no away excuses white man from the genocide, cheating and grand theft he perpetrated upon them in both the Americas, on a geographic scale hitherto unprecedented since recorded history began.
With Power comes Responsibility - and an absolute requirement for Wisdom. Else, better for all concerned not to have the Power at all.
The Brute Class and the Thug Class who murdered the lawful inhabitants of the Americas are still much in evidence, and their MORAL OFFSPRING may be found today polluting this noticeboard and other places.
But - be hopeful. Thanks to the soothing ministrations provided by myself and by others, they may as yet come to such senses as they still possess!
