RE: The 911 Tragedy
"'All is fair in love and war'"
I think this is a surprisingly good point, not the throwaway point it appears to be at first glance.
Ultimately, survival is a battle of what can be, not what should be. Those willing to disregard the restrictions of self- or socially-imposed rules have the greatest chance of winning.
It may not be optimal, but it's reality.
i like that saying as well.
All is fair in love and war, but in saying that its hypocritical of the united states and allies to condemn so harshly the 9/11 terror attacks.
Immortal technique has a great line in his song "bin laden"
"They say the rebels in Iraq still fight for Saddam
But that's bullshit, I'll show you why it's totally wrong
‘Cause if another country invaded the hood tonight
It'd be warfare through Harlem and Washington Heights
I wouldn't be fightin' for Bush or White America's dream
I'd be fightin' for my people's survival and self-esteem
I wouldn't fight for racist churches from the South, my nigga
I'd be fightin' to keep the occupation out, my nigga"
"All is fair in love and war, but in saying that its hypocritical of the united states and allies to condemn so harshly the 9/11 terror attacks."
This is a false equivalency. Two national powers with a formally declared state of war exchanging bombs with primarily military targets is one thing.
Terrorists acting against the interests and (at least public) orders of their governments to attack exclusively civilians alone is another.
If terrorists wanted to play this card, they should have targeted Monsanto, or maybe Congress...not some random bankers and buristas.
