What does any of that have to do with your personal choice to refuse to
condemn the muslims as well for their attrocities? Why does which
"Side"
they were on have any bearing on your *selective* condemnation of
attrocities? Now you have demonstrated you are a hypocrite on a whole
new
level! Good-Gravy Man! When you find yourself in a hole, the first
thing
to do is to stop digging! You are the only one who can be perceived as
"defending" attrocities by your selective condemnation that refuses to
condemn the Chechen muslims for their barbarous acts.
I'm afraid I won't be able to allow you to spin your way out of this
one.
You still remain steadfast in your failure to also condemn the muslims
in
Chechnya for their attrocities. You still fail to have a valid point of
reference when you freely choose to *selectively* condemn attrocities.
It's *EASY* to condemn the Islamic types who commit these atrocities. I
have no love for Islam per se. In certain circles, the tenets of Islam
have caused what can best be described as a mental illness, of the same
variety heard on nut case shortwave 'religious' broacdasts.
Lunacy is lunacy and it doesn't respect borders or political camps.
I should have been clearer in my rants, as you seem to have mistaken my
postings as a defense. It's not now or ever has been a defense. What
I've been trying to show, is that there *is* a lead up to what these
people do.
In the vast majority of cases, whether it's a real or perceived wrong,
it appears that REVENGE is a major cause of the action.
Look at the insanity in Palestine or, previously, in the Northern part
of Ireland. It never ends and it's always 'the other side' that's a
criminal.
Look at Custer and the Little Big Horn. Custer may well have been a
mental case who had NO business being in the Military. Seen in the
retrospect of what the westward moving settlers had already done to the
native population, ask yourself this.
Was Custer a hero or *******? Did the 'natives' act in a spontaneous
manner or did something lead them to the events?
The hard core perverts will be by in a minute to tell us that every
'bloody indian' should have been exterminated BEFORE the troubles
started. That opinion is the one I am against, not yours, where all
atrocities are condemned.
I have no idea what the Israeli-Pallie, Custer, American Indians have to
do with what started this sub-discussion: you condemning Russians for
killing some livestock, but not having a clue as to the extent of the
attrocities of the Chechen muslim combatants and veritibly ignoring it -
then going on to resist documented evidence that would make self-evident
the selective spin you were seemingly applying: "The Russains are animals
to the Chechens!"
Depending on the observer, that could certainly be quite relative. If you
want to bring grneral provocation and retaliation into the mix, the
muslims are cast in a far harsher light. Unless you feel destroying some
livestock by the Russians equates to slow, casual beheading of Russian
officers, or the removal of eyes prior to killing a Russian.
What you need to do is resist your bias and not try to explain away *any*
attrocity based on provocation or retaliation. That kind of silliness
could lead to someone ludicrously claiming:
"...MII's assertion may provide justification for the treatment of those
Abu Ghraib POWs as retaliation for those contractors being hacked-up and
hung on display!"
There is no justification. Not all Russians, Muslims, Americans, are to be
condemned based on the actions of a few -and- those few are to be
resoundingly condemned for their actions. This you most certainly know,
but your insatiable liberal desire to paint with the broadest of brushes,
simply for self-serving emotional and dramatic effect with total disregard
for the actual facts is patently obvious.
I don't normally care about petty spin, but when it is applied against
something as dead-serious as sub-human attrocities simply for emotional
effect to further someone's twisted political agenda, I get to call
"Bull****". You know far better - shame on you!
