It seems that people have been invading other peoples countries to "free" them from their tyrants, customs, for as long as their were countries. They then seem shocked that the inhabitants occasionally resent them.
Occupiers do not seem to understand that killing their husbands, brothers, and fathers if not something women appreciate. Killing their children pisses them off.
The "absolute truth" of any occupiers point of view often goes over the heads of the people they claim to be helping.
For many their daily loves are what they know. For some the western ideas are repulsive and being forced on them. Occupiers like to talk about greater good and necessity. Women like to talk about our children not being killed. So I think it is pretty easy to understand why some would protest.
Right and wrong is too complicated for me. I just can understand not wanting some foreign occupiers killing my family.
In North America the military are the people who stopped others from dropping bombs and rockets from the sky and butchering families and destroying homes. So remembrance day is a time to honour them. In other parts of the world the military are the people who dropped bombs and rockets from the sky butchering their families and destroying their homes. I wonder why they are not equally excited about honouring them?
Universal truths are seldom universal or true
