I just wish you could sustain the level of morality and virtue when it came to other parts of the world, such as Iraq and Iran, because looking at your comments about the conflicts of these countries along with the US, i would say you are no angel yourself and can easily hold double standards, I however, only say it as it is, i try to calculate such events on an evolutionary basis, and try too keep in mind the struggle for life we all live for and everything we are willing to do for it, after all we are all humans no?
so there is another difference for you miltiades....
Shah , Britain as well as America and the rest of the free world went to war against the evil Nazis , and to many people Iran and Sadam were evil , and represent a real threat to world stability. Iran in possession of Nuclear weapons will be like a five year old behind the wheel of a jet fighter.The West must never permit such nations to possess such
weapons, a nation that has vowed to annihilate another nation can not be trusted to reach the state where it can carry out its' threat , I personally immensely mistrust any nation that has theocracy as its' guiding light.
Thankfully in Cyprus we have a secular society and long may we continue to have it. The Cypriots are not Iranians and do not represent a threat to any nation , the only likely threat is unfortunately to their own nation.
i still don't see it as an excuse to view them as subhuman nations, let me remind you that it is the "free world" that has pretty much taken over the world and continuing to do so, and not these theocratic nations, and there is no need for anyone to act like the coalition forces are out to free us from the evil Muslims, its purely for oil and we all know it, so this is not only extremely wrong its also very unethical in my view, they are (just like you) willing to forget everything they claim to stand and fight for, when it all comes down to survival, ie. oil, foreign influence, etc.
so in reality no one is really doing anything "good" for everyone, they are just looking out for themselves in the expense of some foreign lives, and the part that i hate the most is that, these people are probably so much more noble and spiritually advanced then most who live in the western world, but are being treated as brainless animals by the so called "civilised nations"
