Very well put bud. Only rookies and dickheads believe that war is about the "good side" vs the "bad side". Oh, and maybe Americans as well...

Nice one! Good to see the towering intellect out there - everyone gets a chance to show themselves as they really are. Clearly another great Thinker of the Age has just joined the forum! Keep 'em coming, please.
Oh, and tell the friends and families of the Viscount victims that they are "dickheads" for thinking that the perpetrators were bad guys.

If you believe there are no "good guys" and "bad guys", then speaking German throughout Europe these past 60 years would have been just fine then? We Americans are such naive rookies!! As was Churchill and about 50 million British subjects and thousands of Resistance.

War favours the rich and the poor get f d over every time.
Did someone once say "war is the insanity of reason" ?

[napoleon]

war favours not the goddies or the baddies but the rich at the expense of the poor who have got f d over everytime since the dawn of warfare.
Someone once said that War is the insanity of reason.

Trying to dig it all up, will let you have it all.

Hear eres even more on the island of Sao Tome on the atlantic.

Biafran Crisis

Read a really in-depth and illustrated book called SHADOWS by Micahel I.Draper about the Biafran crisis key players which included some good tales and pics of Jack Malloch's operation and others. It should be available on AMAZON.COM and is worth a read
