Basically here's my "two cents" on PA's repeated "obsessional" behaviour about the totally unjustified war in Iraq...
*ahem*
Hobo... I totally agree with you as in any war it is tit for tat... (I don't mean like the episode from Friends!) Its attack, counter attack retaliation... that is war! Two wrongs don't make a right and there have been losses on both sides.
I think PA's very one sided, jingoistic, xenophobic, pro-USA, blind to reason, brain washed, below average intelligence (check his grammar, punctuation and spelling... sorry PA but thats my evidence for that statement!) view on the whole episode isn't his fault... nor is he alone in that view... in fact I'd go as far to say that it is probably your average Americans view point.. that alone is a worry!
Yes... beheading a hostage kinda must go against the Geneava convention and the international combat law but terrorism in general does! If demands aren't met what are they gonna do? Give the guy a pat on the bum, a packed lunch and send him on his way... no!
Look at the footage of the poor North Korean bloke... he's the first hostage I've seen who 's actually s**tting himself... why? Because he knows his country won't negotiate and he's already dead!!!!!
Aaaaah! Its all f**ked up... but if Bush wasn't desperate on retaliation and pinning the blame for Sept 11th on some one any one to "restoriate the American people's pride and hopefuliation in me" then none of this would have happened...
I actually don't think us Brits would have reacted like the Yanks... I think it wasn't so much the loss of life but the "Terrorism? Whats that? How dare they!... Mommy I'm scared" of it all... we've suffered as a nation from repeated IRA bombings and, if you remember, the Libian Lockerby disaster... I'm not saying we wouldn't react but I think we wouldn't have gone all out to retaliate with such verosity.
Its an unjust war declared by an unstable man followed blindly by a man who owes America big time for the last real and just war... WW2!
