But to be honest, if my government had done this I would probably say "got what they deserved, those two were only following orders and should not have been punished" but it is so much easier to be less biased when your country (for once) is no the one being blamed. | OK you have a couple of misconceptions here, first of all that a terrorist attack HAS to kill civillians...they dont, they have to cause TERROR, hence the name. secondly this was an attack by one nations military against civilians...PEACE ACTIVISTS no less...in what  up world is that ever OK?
honestly i think you are talking without even having the base knowlage to form a proper opinion on what happened here. do some research
h**l, have a look at what was posted last time the rainbow warrior was mentioned here http://www.military-quotes.com/forum...+rainbow#98162 |
Peace activists? Is that was ramming jet skies into coast guard boats is? Peaceful? Sending boats through an area of sea where the US Navy is conducting underwater missile firing exercises in their own territorial waters? How far is too far? To me Greenpeace goes to far, and if they had things there way we would all be kissing ass to the commies right now.
