the place...but this paragraph is particularly creepy:
Vile principles take hold, a certain kind of retributive megalomania, particularly in impressionable minds. And thus is nurtured the view that they are entitled to strike back, as destructively as possible.
Vile principles...not sure but killing for a cause usually outranks killing for 'oil' or 'profit' in our culture...that's why we had to invent a 'noble cause' to kill them for, other than their oil. "Megalomania?" "destructively as possible?" These are all cases that could be easily be applied to the western campaign to capture the middle east oil fields?
Real shame that people who have contacts in that part of the world might want to take the side of a 78 yr old blind guy in a wheelchair as opposed to 'oil for cars' like the fearful white people who want to desparately see some sense to their moral and ethical beliefs.
But whatever, carry on
