The relative I was thinking of was an activist for constitutional democracy and against absolute monarchy. Don't know what happened to him in prison; he doesn't talk about it.

You find the jihadis "unreasonable". Look, this is the list of things you could find "unreasonable": (a) the jihadi position on God (b) the jihadi position on US policy (c) the jihadi method to affect change - violence L

It is not an excuse if the guy is ready to throw himself and an airplane into a building for it. That means the guy is pretty sincere. The word you are looking for is motive . The fact that you do not find their motives "reasonable&

I answered this above. Occupation is one reason the kamikaze may feel like a cornered rat. Indirect occupation is another. This can be because the perpetrator (USA) is giving weapons to the actual occupier (Israel), because the perpetra

The Moscow situation is not comparable to Afghan countryside. If "effective" includes "not killing innocent civilians" then sleeping gas would work much better than what they are dropping now. If smoke or CS would work

By the way, its not a "perception", it's the US backing Israeli war crimes as a point of FACT . Don't try to justify Israel to me because you will look stupid when I list for you Israeli sources admitting Israel

Well then the idiotic vengeful angry US response to 911 is also unjustified, and also does not justify attacks on civilians. Particularly drone "signature strikes" against first responders, which have killed MANY more people tha

In the Monkey King Legend the heroes are warned not to overwhelm the monster by a reference to the Art of War by Sun Zi. If I remember correctly, the translation is "even a rat will fight if cornered", though today we might mutter

They could have run away in defeat instead of "destroying the village to save it". By the way, it's a really crappy air force that can't do an air strike with sleeping-gas bombs.

What, you think they are NOT mad about Palestine? You think jihadis are in truth really pleased about how Palestinians were ethnically cleansed, how they can't get their homes back and how they're treated like dirt everyday? T
