I'm offended ( ) when people refer to conflicts in the Islamic world as "a thousand years old" or "centuries old" or whatever. That's some straight bullshit, Garry Trudeau. Whatever sectarian conflicts have arisen, they've been punctuated by entire generations of stability. Sometimes it was empire that brought the stability, sometimes a strongman, sometimes it was civil society but you might as well say that Europe has been racked with conflict since the dissolution of the Roman empire. Nobody says that though, because the populations being discussed are not swart enough. That's right, I said it. Look at fake Omar Sharif up there in the comic, his tribal enmities are so intractable! If only he would trim his eyebrows, maybe civil government could obtain.

vapoursquid posted:Using violence to create fear in order to advance a political agenda is morally unacceptable irregardless of anything else. Fear in whom? Is it all right for resistance fighters to create fear among occupying military forces in order to achieve the political objective of independence?
