No, I was merely answering your question of when terrorism turns into a revolution. Its effectively a retrospective conversion stated upon a finality of victory. If the initial force of uprising destroys the status quo and retains victory unto a stable government, the initial "terrorists" will be declared revolutionaries instead of terrorists. If, however, they fail and the initial government crushes the uprising, the initial "revolutionaries" will have been declared terrorists and remain that way in the annals of history.
History is written by the victors, and by extension, definitions as well
My personal opinion is to figure out whether the individuals can be converted to any useful tool of society. If not, are they at least neutral. If they are negative and remain a threat, and cannot be neutralized or converted, then annihilate them.
As Lincoln insinuated, "destroy your enemies by making friends of them" however, if this cannot be done, a bullet will have to suffice
OK, you have Lincoln quotes memorised?
Every situation differs but did Lincoln say anything that may be pertaining to our situation as it is?
At what point do we say you (muslims, and I hate to be so bleak about the situation) have oil and are so less developed than us, given our need for this resource (oil) and postition as the most advanced peoples on this earth we shall take it.
The fact is we haven't, and we don't seem to want to accept our position within an evolutionary contruct. We have advanced to top and evolution dictates we advance, as we have, at the expense of others. Be it plant or animal or etc.
Yet we seem to have takin a stance, with our endless egotism, that we are beyond this evolutionary contstruct and that we can extend a sense of inclusion to everything else. It's admirable, but fullhearty............... considering everything else is in direct competition with us for resources.
Muslims may not be a direct conflict of species, but they provide a direct conflict to the moral inclusive stance we have adopted that ironically also dictates their inclusion and rights. Too fight back is to fail, the only option is to help them was my point.
Does this make sense?
