Here Is An Unpopular Point Of View

Let's get one thing straight right away. I hate terrorists. I hate people so fucking cowardly that they kill defenceless people and claim there is a defence for their actions. Their actions render anything indefensible.

To me there is nothing as precious as a human life. It's an opinion that informs much of what I do and what I want to do. The whole "one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter" thing doesn't fly for me. My opinion, which may be entirely irrelevant as I have never been in any position that required me to think about it really, a freedom fighter, where needed by a population, should be very specific in their actions. If those actions are needed then civilians should not be targeted.

Yes, I do understand that the whole point of a terrorist is to inspire terror. The clue, folks, is in the name. That's why terrorist and freedom fighters should be separate things and never confused. And that's why I think they, terrorists, are pathetic. I don't care who we are talking about, whither that be organisations, individuals or states. Terrorism is the cover of cowards. Ya bo sucks to you, loser.

I am going to assume that none of this has been so controversial as to be totally unpopular. What might be unpopular is my opinion on what we (speaking for the alliance in the war against terror, hey you assumed you could speak for me, just returning the fave ass) have allowed.

Okay so the extremists in this case happen to be Muslim, or at least they claim to be. I ain't so sure. Does this mean we assume all Muslims are with them ? I'm hoping you know the assuming making an ass out of you and me thing. Otherwise, get a fucking education folks, that's pretty fucking basic. What we (yes fuckheads "we" 'cause I sure as hell didn't agree to this shit) seem to have done is alienate the very people we need help from. There is a huge Muslim population who despise the actions of the extremists. Huge populations folks, of really nice people who despise the actions taken, supposedly, in the name of their faith.

Then there's torture. Guantanamo Bay. A hell that should never be allowed. I don't care what your so called reasoning is, torture is wrong. Just plain fucking wrong you arrogant sons of man. Apart from the fact that it's just plain wrong and barbarous, who really thinks that's going to turn up reliable info anyway ? Even on the off chance you manage to swoop in and kidnap someone with any actual involvement in terrorism. While I haven't tortured anyone to check my hypothesis, given that I think its immoral, I strongly suspect that by the time you actually manage to break some they will tell you anything they think you'll want to hear. Anything to stop the torture.

Imprisonment with out charge, there's another pile of crap that's come out of this. Sorry, that's just not on you bunch of pigs. Actually that's insulting to pigs, more like you bunch of immoral, uncivilised human beings. We trumpet our great civilizations based on democracy, the rule of law, and all those other great things that took time to develop . . . . . wait, let's back up a little . . . rule of law ? What the fuck is that ? Oh no wait, it's fine just change the law to suit what ever passing fancy you have. Mind you why worry, according to our Glorious (ex) Leader the worst thing that could happen in our legal system is that one guilty man goes free. I thought that it was that one innocent man was imprisoned. Oh well, silly little me, it must be because I'm a girl.

Okay, this ranting can not go on any longer 'cause I . . . . feel the need to scream.
