Prince Myshkin Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 he plotted to blow up a corrupt government and since his release has admitted to violating human rights in the process i have no problem with him, i just find it weird he is almost deified by so many people. to me it's like if somebody plotted an assassination attempt on bush or blair and anybody else that was in the building with them because of the illegal wars and going to jail, then in twenty years time it being found the wars were illegal so releasing them and hailing them a hero. obviously that's over simplified but the whole thing seems really strange to me.

Prince Myshkin Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 That's racist. not necessarily but very possible. they may have hated him because he killed one of their relatives in his struggle against the corrupt government. i wouldn't say that was hatred based on race.

Prince Myshkin Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Nope, it's 100% racist. why? they could well be racists and it could be racially motivated but from the information given how have you decided it was racist? all you know is two white south african twins hate nelson mandela.

christopher Martin Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Nope, it's 100% racist. ........do you have inside information? if not then that's a ridiculous statement. I dont know much about the corruptness of the government but im sure its was about a million times worse that the blair/bush government, and just for the record the wars were certainly not illlegal, Sadam was the one that broke international law. The UK & USA should be proud of the liberation of Iraq, now they can vote people into power, obviously there was an awful human cost but Sadam had inflicted much more on his own people and the Kurds, (the largest ethnic group to have no homeland) Sorry to change the subject slightly but i had to express it.

ricardo Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Violence is necessary sometimes. And he did something to free his country from slavery and that medieval like system. So I think he gets fair enough attention. Fail thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
