So do four Moon trips cancel out one Tigers trip or not? Moon is the most powerful foreign funder of the neo-conservative media after Rupert Murdoch. He believes he is the reincarnation of Christ and is a big supporter of Bush-Cheney and far rightwing ideals. His newspaper The Washington Times is clearly bised toward the right. Maybe time for the rightwing to start differentiating between freedom fighters who use terrorist tactics and terrorist groups that are enemies of the USA and democracy. I would remind you that the Boston Tea Party could be classified as a "terrorist" attack. If you were the British, that is. We also need to start taking a good long look at the morality (or not) of imperialism in general. It's certainly not a black and white situation. Often you have a corrupt rightwing dictatorship putting down a lightly armed revolutionary movement. Sometimes the church sides with the revolutionaries who are butchered by weapons we sent to the dictatorships. I don't know about about the Tamil Tigers to tell, but there is certainly no black and white in places like Colombia, nor was there in Nicaragua, El Salvador, Chile, East Timor and many others. Remember, Saddam also crushed the Kurdish rebellion. In that case, the Kurds were the "terrorists". Now they are our friends. Think about it.
