"The history books condemn Genghis Khan and scores of blood thirsty conquerors for the savagery of what they did, but little is learned by modern leaders as they pile more and more pitiful corpses of their own soldiers on the mounds of the innocent dead, men, women and children who momentarily find themselves in the 'collateral damage' vicinity of their rain of 'smart' bombs and lethal missiles.

Yet the world's intelligence services, with varying competence and incompetence, continue to seek out potential 'threats' where the primary cause is more properly laid at the threshold of their political masters against whom those labeled 'terrorists' are simply a reaction to the legal terrorism of a government apparatus beyond democratic control.

Be mindful of the fact that what is now the Israeli government is the update descendant of 'terrorists' against British rule in Palestine, every bit as much as American 'terrorists' committed acts of 'terrorism' against the rule of King George in Boston harbor so many years before ... even Venezuela's own Simon Bolivar was the ultimate 'terrorist' to the Spanish throne when he sought liberty and independence for the South American continent at the threshold of the 1800s."
