(died in 2017 actually). better pick might be someone like Edward Snowden (not a terrorist but at least maybe ideologically controversial). or maybe the unibomber, Ted Kaczynski, who at least has a possibly sympathetic ideology, though his means of expressing it were unfortunately extreme. another possibility might be one of those military personnel who were convicted of abusing iraqi prisoners? then you at least have a western individual terrorizing middle easterners. --- *The truth basks in scrutiny.* https://imgur.com/GMouTGs http://projecteuler.net/profile/Sahuagin.png <cite>Sahuagin posted [p:932480581] in A middle e...

faramir77 01/05/20 12:54:49 AM #4:	That is a very bad analogy. A better analogy would be if China assassinated a US general that was secretly in North Korea. From their perspective, that would be justified. Just like how from our perspective, taking out the Iranian general who, for who knows what fucking reason, was in Iraq, is also completely justified. --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiCtAUrZbUk -- Defeating the Running Man of Ocarina of Time in a race since 01/17/2009. -- <cite>faramir77 posted [p:932482603] in A middle e...

Zeus 01/05/20 4:51:42 AM #6:	Lokarin posted... I used Charles Manson cuz I couldn't think of an active western terrorist off-hand The analogy doesn't work for any number of reasons, including the fact that Manson had no direct ties to the US government, his criminal conduct was domestic, and he was imprisoned. Sahuagin posted... better pick might be someone like Edward Snowden (not a terrorist but at least maybe ideologically controversial). The parallel doesn't work at all because Snowden's "victim" was the US government and he's no longer a government agent (specifically because he did what he did). Sahuagin posted... another possibility might be one of those military personnel who were convicted of abusing iraqi prisoners? then you at least have a western individual terrorizing middle easterners. The fact that they're convicted makes it a bad parallel as well. The US killed an active general in good standing with his government, which is why the assassination can be viewed as an attack on the government itself. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:932488279] in A middle e...

I'm not actually up to speed on this current situation which I didn't realized Lok was implicitly directly referring to.
