Sorry, it seems hard to work out exactly which side you're talking about here ...
Is it the repression of invading sovereign countries for the financial gain
of a ruling minority, the pure civilian attacks such as missile attacks on
weddings, shooting kids who happen to be on the same road as your vehicle
or the videotaped murder of farmers, people who just happen to be in the wrong
place at the wrong time - not to mention the violence for personal benefit
(i.e., killing for money) - that concerns you?
Or is it the defence against the invaders and the revenge for the pain, suffering
and literally thousands of victims - all who had relatives stirred up by the
tragic events that you dismiss as "worth it" - that you are viewing as
"personal benefit"?
I agree that revenge is a nasty reason to propagate violence but I don't think it
is anything like as nasty a reason as killing for profit, greed & propaganda.
Shame that you cannot recognise that the obscene defence of such behaviour
by the invaders is no more "part of being a man" than killing women & children
simply because you can.
