Agree ^^^
Jim, MI 5 has a LOT to answer for, dropping the dossier on the latest incident over there.
Not pointing fingers at them, wiggling one at the leftist's, who blanket it over, in hopes of, "Maybe he won't do it", coming to fruition. Which it will always come to, with this sort.
Dubfore:I could ask of anyone's opinion, what is freedom?
It is what I died for, twice, on two continents, and dearly gave, two sons for.
Freedom, contrary to YOUR belief, is NOT FREE!!
Dubfore: What was it Muhatma Ghandi said about an eye for an eye?
Apparently, like all LEFTIST'S, you do NOT, do ANY, diligence. You parrot out the facts that seem fit, for your use, in a very minute fashion, not linear from the beginning...
If I didn't know any better, I would guess by your statements, you were, are, educated by the U.S. collegiate liberal's, destroying our children's minds, and freedom, to THINK, for themselves.
Hillary LOST! GET OVER IT!
Let me help you with the fact, that Gandhi, did NOT become a 'Mahatma", ( Holy man) until after, some bloody confrontations, in his earlier life, that he expounded upon, very RARELY, in order to convey the "new" way of civil unrest, without violence, that YOU know only of him...
People who think violence is inherently evil and avoiding it in all situations makes you a better person often tout Gandhi as a patron saint. This is not accurate. Gandhi was not a pacifist, and those who respect his conviction that life is a quest for truth should be interested in the reality of his views on violence. I will briefly summarize the facts here.
While promoting the civil rights of Indian residents of South Africa, Gandhi urged his fellow "coolies" to peacefully disobey British laws giving them a second-class status. He endured personal attacks without aggression. He believed peaceful resistance to injustice without retaliation or even self-defense would eventually win British respect. This was successful. However, when British South Africans fought Dutch South Africans in the Boer War, Gandhi maintained that Indians fighting with their British masters to defend their neighbors would also win respect and accomplish good. Not the Deepak Chopra mindset.
It is worth noting that Gandhi's moral philosophy was based in great part on the Bhagavadgita and the Bible. Think about that. The Gita focuses on the moral dilemma of Arjuna when called to fight a battle against his own family. God's avatar Krishna instructs him to obey his moral duties (whether hugging one's enemy or killing one's friend) rather than his emotional sentiments.

Do your DILLIGENCE! Not talking points, that favor a secular argument...

Mohandas Gandhi was ruthless, early on...

As was your savior, less you forget...

Jesus famously urged turning the other cheek rather than self defense or retaliation but never spoke against violence in defense of others. To the contrary, Jesus told his followers to bring swords to the location of his arrest. He was personally responsible for his disciples' weapon-packing in a situation of escalating violence. When disciple Peter took a swipe at one Roman soldier's head and amputated his ear, Jesus never condemned such defensive loyalty but healed the wound then stated he didn't need any defense because he had supernatural help. The Bible says there is a time to kill and a time to heal. Bullies think it's always time to kill, while cowards think it never is. Gandhi was neither one.

Mohandas Gandhi's REAL legacy,

It's true that Gandhi was more rigidly nonviolent in his declining years. Yet, this was actually a disaster. When his friend Jinnah became more and more aggressive in demanding the separate Muslim homeland that later became Pakistan and Bangladesh, Gandhi became more and more appeasing. The resulting partition of India was anything but nonviolent. Multitudes of men were murdered. Vast numbers of women were cruelly raped and slain.

All of the above, you will NOT learn, unless, YOU, YOURSELF, follow your, trotted out idol's, full path, not what you hear, or choose, NOT, to remember, and tout...

If you will be the first one, into Syria, waltz up to Basheer Assad's door, knock on it, and give him a big old Irish hug & a lolli pop. Let me know how that ends, will ya?

I'll be right behind you, with a dozen Abrams tanks, and 2 dozen Apache helicopters, to clean up after you stain the sidewalk.

People who do not learn from their past, are destine to repeat it.

I'm with Einstein, " You're INSANE" dude.

Just sayin ;-))
