personally, i think both sides are right here and wrong here. mostly wrong. to talk about europe and america like they are separate in this context is a bit silly. we live in a world of colonizing, imperialistic exploiters, and whether we are talking "old world" empire or "new world" is a moot point.

the exploiters are generally a very small group of people with a lot of power, conquering for resource to expand that power. its little versus big, not one side of the ocean or the other.

what we use the word "terrorism" to describe these days is a symptom. the little people getting pushed so far that they have to push back. and when you are outnumbered 1000 to 1, you dont just push back, you explode.

thats my 2 cents off-topic.
