Its the lying and backtracking that I can't abide. The terrorism quote is a stange thing.
A few hundred years ago, if the earl down the road had a nicer carpet than you, you gathered your army of peasants, raided his village, raped his women, took the carpet and burnt the place to the ground. This was normal.
Fast forward to 20th Century, we had Irish lads and British lads. Same lads, same personalities, born in one place and grow up to be a member of the IRA, born in another and join the British military. Both viewed each other as doing something wrong (no labels from me)
Fast forward 21st Century, middle eastern lads are growing up to hate the west for terrorising their country, the lads from the west are growing up to hate the terrorists from the middle east!
History is written by the victor and propaganda is one of the most powerful tools out there. Paul Watson knows how to use this to his advantage, but unfortunately for him, most people can see through his BS.
DISCLAIMER: I support our lads fully, the above examples are just to show differences of views, a long winded explanation of "one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter"
