That last sentence is almost certainly right, but it's only a lie if they know it not to be true. I suspect most of the people involved truly believe that they are fighting for Muslim ideals.

Hell, *I* regularly denegrate the UN. It's stupid, massively corrupt, and makes decisions based on majority vote of governments run by thugs. John

The other responses pretty much sum up any answer I can give. I especially like the HHHhhhhmmmmmm. It's good. It makes it seem like you are thinking about things. Well done. You may want to check out what they were actually called though - the term provisional, real, official, continuity etc were often used because they were basically thugs. The Irish Republican Army pretty much ceased to exist with the creation of the Free State. If AQ called themselves the Banana Splits would it be a fruit salad instead of a war? |
