Therein Lies The Problem.Well..A Lot Of IT Anyway.

I recall the Rambo film ( not sure which one they called it), and yes , WE DID cheer for the perceived " good guys ".

Those Ruskies were into expansionism and were to be stopped. The cheers in the cinema when a Ruskie attack Helo exploded into a thousand pieces at the hands of the Stingers was ..well...heartwarming. <g>

YUP! One man's Freedom Fighter is another man's terrorist.

But in all fairness , no one ever thought these freedom fighters would ever turn around and bite us in the arse as terrorists , at least none of the friends I hang out with

Lesson learned.
