I read the article you linked to, and it simply added another dab of paint to the human mosaic I've been putting together since adulthood. The mosaic is mostly dark, evil, with maybe a few grays thrown in to break up the monotony. On the periphery, though, there are a few lighter colors; oranges, golds, blues ... that sort of stuff.
It's all that keeps my faith in humanity alive. And thank God for that because, right now, I have rather negative feelings toward most of the Western and Northern hemispheres of this world.

At least Tony Blair isnt putting me in prison or killing my family(yet
).But i would say that its good to feel depressed about the role that the western world, led principly by America these days, takes.
Politicians will harp on about our freedoms+democracy etc etc.
Its quite a realisation when you being to let it sink in that these freedoms we enjoy come at a very high price for many people in the world. It goes back hundreds of years, to the discovery of the New World etc.
Since then western governments+kings have been using their technolgy to steal from the rest of the world.
Its sad that hundreds of years later its basicaly the same driving force that we let our governments use.
Just so we can drive a nice car to work, just so we can say 'hay the rest of the world! look we are free!'.
To really live in a free+democratic world, we're going to have to change pretty much everything about the way we live.
Two thirds of the worlds wealth used by one third of the worlds population will mean we will never have a 'free' world.
You can be sure the people that run it this way dont want it either.
First time I hear of this. You could and should really expect it, but all I see and hear in media reports, including your blog, SOP descriptions and live interviews with soldiers and officers, suggest between the lines that your military don't give a **** about colateral damage - including human life, private property and cultural heritage.
