this thought occured to me after the release of the tape found after the spain bombings.

a few news reports quoted it as saying "more blood will flow" but one quoted it fully and showed it to be more saying something more like; if the war crimes and wars don't stop then more blood will flow.

this got me thinking about how we perceive al qaeda. i guess alot of people are givent he impression that they are a bunch of psychpaths trying to convert the whole world to islam. but i just don't see that anymore. it's like the saying about one mans freedom fighter being another man's terrorist. i'm now seeing them as freedom fighters and well..... more likeable. instead of seeing them as "fanatical fundamentalist terrorists" i see them as "dedicated deeply religious freedom fighters."

as well as this change in opinion other what they are i guess i've went a little further.

seeing now that they're were no wmd's in iraq after being shown the evidence that was given to the UN. which included supposedly emphatetic evidence of their existence through satallite photos which people must question now how they could possibly be wrong unless they were faked and if they were correct why couldn't the coordinates they were taken from followed too? also how the protests of millions of people were ignored to go ahead with the war and how the UN made useless.

when protest's become useless and politicians lie and betray the public they're are limitied options to take. there are politics but elections now can't be trusted in the US now they aren't internationally monitored. their's the law and international courts but america no longer obides by the geneva convention and won't join the world court making it impossible to try for war crimes.

or there is the last option. and sadly it is violence. i used to be pacifist but now i see no other option. if the world is to change then direct action is required. it's a sad fact that i think it has no came to this but at the end of the day i know that i'd rather fight against britain and america and britain than for them.

i believe now the only action open to people who truly what change but seek not to be terrorist is direct action. attacks on legitimate but not civillain targets such as the armed services and american interests (which are not occupied).

sorry if this was a bit of a rant and might be controversial but i think it's best if people know how other people are now feeling and what can be done to stop it growing and prehaps reverse it.

if this thread does get stopped which i imagine will happen i'm sorry for the upset.
