... ah you thought I would say denigrate the USA, but ... to play devil's advocate... if they tried to use violence to overthrow an elected government, how is that diferent from the US funded Teoorrist military overthrow of the democratically elected government of Chile on the ORIGINAL 11th September attack?
Perhps an interesting doco would be on the number of US CIA/FBI/whatever fiunded agents provocateur who operated inside organisations such as the SDS specifically to move it to a more extreme position in order to undermine its popularity.

It is the same. Two wrongs do not make a right. The Weathermen apparently believed that because revolutions were taking place in Nicaragua, Cuba, etc., that they could spark the same here. I argue that if they have actually been to Nicaragua, knew anything of it's history, culture, and poverty, they would have known that what applies there does not apply here. Completely different situations. But I never suggested that what the U.S. Government did in Chile, Vietnam, or any other country was justified.
... I wasn't clear... I didn't mean to suggest you DID state the USA was was justified. I was just posing the question.
This is a HUGE problem of morality all over the world and leaves the question of what resort (if any is justified) poor people have against the rich and powerful apart from suicide bombers.
