| I agree with that last point: You cannot make yourself a martyr. It's another fundamental difference between free societies and middle eastern ones: Humility and service to others as opposed to pride and self worship.
The martyr mentality of 'standing up' to the big, evil empire is right out of Mice and Men. The small guy with a chip on his shoulder and a big mouth is right just because he is small and weak, and if the big guy wins, it's because he had an unfair advantage. So stupid.....and worthless as the bravado of the homicide bombers. |
