I think it is the duty of every citizen in a society to actually weigh the conditions under which an insurgency, armed or not would be justified, if fought in their own country.

It is a healthy exercise for both the citizens and the society. Not the insurgency, necessarily, but the mental exercise of actually considering it.

The more I look at Iraq, the harder it is to wrap my mind around just exactly what the other side is fighting for. The more I learn, the less I know....
