4. Hmmmm
Edited on Tue Feb-05-08 07:40 AM by Finite
He's right that we've been through all of this before, but it doesn't put us in a position to lecture America on this. We engaged in brutal supression, including using CHEMICAL WEAPONS on tribes who didn't pay their taxes, authorised by none other than Winston Churchill during his time in the foreign office.

I suppose the point is that we did all this, we cranked up the brutality in response to rebellions and it didn't work. America would certainly do well to heed this message.
