...all I know is that once violence is accepted then there is left very little ground left with which to condemn its use by others...
...and that once one has distanced themselves from murder with a "cause" they are living within a world of their own making where its likely that justifications for the convenience of violent action become more and more blurred...such as the street executions of Palestinians who are accused of "working with the Israelis"...it's a perfect example, and I don't point the Palestinians out as being unique...not at all, I only use them because they have been mentioned in this thread...history has proven this to us again and again from all points of the planet.
