    You will one day have to pick a side. Choose your sides wisely. That "verbal noun" bullshit doesn't cut it - read Mohammed's biography. The cult was based on violence, and spread by the sword.

    And, before you remind me of the Crusades, let me remind you that Islam had murdered millions throughout Europe before the Euros started fighting back, long before the first Crusade was even a dream.

    There is nothing exceptional about spreading by the sword. That is how everyone spread, whether it be Genghis Khan, Qings, Japanese, Nazi, British, French, German (who exterminated and drove away Celts to the farthest end of GB), Romans, Asoka the Great, Ottomans etc. The extent of this truth is only realized by the presence of military courts and military laws that only apply to people living at the periphery of so called civilized world.

    As technology makes this world more and more globalized, plus the horror of WWII that created UN, now it is not easy to spread with swords without the whole world starts banging the shit out of you. Only NOW people talk about something called 'soft power', and the constant rise of intellectual strength over physical strength is being heralded as a good thing because it is less violent.

    Except that it is not. It just means committing genocide under the carpet.

    And I have picked my side, you know. Which is why I am here talking. But the massacre is real and it is happening here in 3rd world countries in very vast and very brutal and very open way and all you get to see as a citizen of more powerful country is whatever repercussion seeps through.

    And why do we need to pick sides anyway? It is easy to not get involved in middle east - just don't go there! Most of it is not even next to next neighbor to east Europe, forget about USA. But they have oil - and USA is not content with just oil - it has to be cheapest oil!

    Men suffer because they love everything except themselves. If men were wise enough they would get up and say it is okay to not have the best thing right now if it means working less everyday and not being the most powerful nation of the world. But USA has to be that, right? It is perpetually on the holy duty of pushing forward God's Kingdom. Why else would God bless America? France or Germany might give other reasons - such as 'humanitarian approach' or 'multiculturism' or 'hatred of American superiority' but they also want to be the most powerful... and so men suffer. I bet if Obama was flipping burgers he would be against extra judicial killings - but he doesn't have a drone over his head nor he is stationed in Afganistan or Iraq nor he has to worry about potential security checks when he is traveling in airplane so why would he care?

    The only side is your own side. I chose myself over any country.

      If the violence were confined to the levant, your post might appeal to me. However, the violence is widespread throughout the areas I've mentioned above.

      As for "most powerful nation" - we have pissed our power away. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq - our power pissed into the frozen hills, the jungles, and into that fabled "cradle of civilazation".

      We'll see how you choose on the day that some imam/warlord sends for you. Will you still stand proud and tall, or will you kneel to Mohammed?

        See man, they have been sending terrorists long before I was born. When Taliban gave refuge to terrorists hijacking a plane [wikipedia.org] and India was forced to give up infamous terrorists and the whole world sighed and looked away. When Bill Clinton visited India in 2000 then current PM of India went around showing him all the weapons that were caught my Indian army all over the country. They were all made in USA and were provided to Taliban. If you search for it on news today you will be hard pressed to find any link to it - it is safely kept somewhere in the archives of public TV. There was no report of it in USA. Similarly, no one batted an eye when parliament of the largest democracy in the world was attacked in December 2001 (yep, 2001!) there was little coverage of it and everything was brushed aside as valid move by the best partner in War On Terror(TM).

        Guess what, when you sell a 100 missiles you can be doubly sure than 100 of them will get used. And if they have a shelf life of 3 years, most probably they will get used just before the warranty runs off. And USA is in the business of selling millions of weaponry all over the world. A day will come when those weapons will turn towards USA. Or France. And who buys all those weapons anyway? The people who will sell their country and all its resources just to gain some fictitious sense of power over people who they disagree with! USA is directly responsible for genocidal extermination of the whole population of educated, intellectual and peace loving citizens in many countries all over the world. Now you can't complain when all you see is assholes willing to kill themselves to harm some innocent citizens who even their own government doesn't care about.

          So - the question arises. WTF were those terrorists alive? Why hadn't they been executed? You can't free a terrorist from a tomb. Or, if you do free him, he isnt going to accomplish much.

          Don't bother answering - I alraedy know why. It is for the same reason that our own impotent government took captives from various places around the world, then imprisoned them in Guantanamo. The same reason we have maximum security prisons scattered around our nation, partially filled with people who have committed truly heinous crimes. The same reason that the terrorists who gunned down innocent victims in Paris will ultimately go free, unless they die of old age in prison first. No one has the balls to do the necessary things, like executing animals. No balls at all.

          As for Wall street exploiting the world, while paying the military industrial comples to act as their hatchetmen - yeah. You're preaching to the choir on that one.

            No it is actually simpler. They were in jail awaiting trial and Indian judiciary has huge backlog [scroll.in]. India does have capital punishment, but the Sri Lankan terrorists who killed them got 11 years to live in jail before final judgement was passed.

              Yes, my bad. I forgot all about the crazy backlog that India's justice system has. In this case, the police never should have taken them prisoner. They should have been shot to death while resisting arrest.

              Hey, if US cops can get away with shooting unarmed people in the back, then claim that they felt threatened, I'm sure the Indian cops could have staged a convincing scenario for shooting these swine down.

              On the plus side, in recent years, their legal system has made some serious strides in the direction of timely justice.

                Yes, that is true. Cops do that all the time anyway, but high profile targets get high profile attention. It is ultimately the poor and powerless who suffer. If you are powerful then you can even be a terrorist.
