Re: An analogy

Yes, but neither you nor i are Iraqi civilians. We don't have the biological imperative of self-defence to back our violence up (and a protest that resulted in death can be considered "violent" for our purposes even if no act of aggression was carried out, i believe).

Indeed, in the Nazi Germany 1943 analogy, we are not jews. Rather we are affluent ethnic Germans living it up in Bavaria on the proceeds of "liberated" Jewish gold. We are complicit in the holocaust - not it's victims.

So again, i firmly believe our first obligation is to address our own complicity in this - and just because that's a long-term strategy in no way makes it any less vital. To do otherwise is to shirk responsibility. To lay blame at the door of others whilst typing away on our oil keyboards.
