Alternatives to terrorism

[Brenus]

“you admit that Ghandi was successful, but that it didn't 'count' because his oppressor was weak?” Yeap. It was successful BECAUSE his opponents didn’t go for the fight… Peaceful protests work only if the oppressor is willing (for whatever reasons) not to use full force.
The non-aggression policy didn’t work on Hitler. War seeker LOVE peace Activists…

“I'm just pointing out that killing other people - innocent people - is not the only choice.”
Of course it is not.
However, in this kind of mind (terrorist) there are NO innocents. That is the entire problem. The victims are part of a system and they are not rebelling against it therefore they are as guilty as their leaders…
If you are under an oppressive regime, and this oppressive regime police, secret service and all other population control tools are trained by a third country, how do you do? You want these others to know what terror is, to know what to feel at 4 in the morning because the neighbour’s door was knocked out… So what can you do? They don’t care of your life, why should you care of their?
Then come the feeling that the helpers of your oppressive regime are de facto THE problem. “Valets of Imperialism” was the expression in use by the communists in the 60 & 70’s. Puppet’s master is probably the one now.
So, if you go this way, it is a WAR. Collateral damage and so, and real desire to strike back…
Sarmatain is from a country where NATO bombs the media Centre because it was “propaganda” Centre for Milosevic.
What would happen if few Serbian soldiers in full uniform would have attacked CNN? You would have heard the outrage against this attack on freedom of media until the sky!!! The vast majority of the journalists didn’t even question this action.
So, why terrorism: because the rules are made but the powerful. They want the weak to play THEIR rules and to be killed. Come with your chest against my Abrams, T82, Leclerc or other armoured vehicles. Meet with my well paid layers to contest in front on my former friends for college but now judge the law I pass in the Parliament to contest the land that my relatives grab few years ago. Possession is title, they say. Come on… Bring it on...
