In meantime, the feudal lords had been oppressing, torturing, enslaving, enserfing, imprisoning, etc., people quite legally. And modern feudal warlords of the evil european-christian empires have been doing much the same evil acts to most people. And this time not only legally but with moral justification! I wld affirm that if 98-99.99% of europepans wld have been informed, nato wld have never been in afgfh'n fighting its feudal warlords and the christian lands' modern feudal warlords wld have been deposed once for all time. I also assert, that also asian peoples, if they wld be enlightened, wld depose/kill own war and feudal lords. The wars-occupation-theft of land in afgh'n, palestine, and iraq are not waged by non-warlords but solely by the warlords. In europe, canada, ... i guess 20% of people are well informed. Still, not enough to indict warlords such as merkel, blair, brown, berlusconi, sarkozi, et al for criminal behavior. In US, there is even less of a chance of that coming to pass. It seems that in US 98% are disnformed. However, americans are not an exception nor exceptional when it comes to thinking-feeling-behaving. If euros wld have been as much mistaught by 'religions', pols, journalists, 'educators', entertainment-infantainment people as americans have een, 98% of euros wld be supporting any 'successful' war. Some americans do not approve of wars in afgh'n and iraq. But they base their disapproval of the two 'misssions' on mere perceptions and not on any principle. Perceptions are, in the main, that they cost too much or are 'failing' [whatever animal is that?], etc. Devil forbid, they'd think that the two invasions are criminal ventures? tnx Feual warlords of akkad, persia, greece, ottoman empire, UK, russia, italy, greece, et al have waged wars against other feudal warlords since 7k yrs ago.
