   Oh right, so the murder of a Portuguese photographer (leaving aside that   
   Greenpeace is State/corporate-owned) is less of a cause for anger than   
   the murder of a bus-traveller in London? What a hypocrite!   
      
   And as for murders in Iraq, two points:   
      
   1) since you mentioned numbers, how many people do you think have been   
   murdered in Iraq by the western forces that you so obscenely glorify?   
   and   
      
   2) it's completely obvious that it's in the interests of those forces   
   for there to be indiscriminate murders of innocent people, blamed on the   
   resistance movement... Same fucking policy has been applied in Italy and   
   elsewhere...
