It must be a fine line at times where reporting on something that's so inherently wrong gets in the way of something that 'could be' so inherently right.

It must be a huge effort of will in the face of the evidence (of course it could be a scam at times), for the reporters not to have someone put the c*nts who offer these services down with far less thought than they would a dog.

I know our own country is rich but at times in the service of our own interests we attack other countries in the guise of predictive defence (with the blessings of our partners in crime at times via the U.N. ) whilst we also offer the whitewash lies of bringing stability (never seems to happen) to these countries. I know it's all bullshit and we're just really after oil or lucrative arms deals etc. But it makes the world turn and it always has, such is the nature of the beast that serves war.

But that story fucking shocked me beyond any bullshit war for oil we pretend to be justified to be in.
My initial reaction really was to send the troops in and just fecking eradicate their shit government and do what we claim to want to do in Afghanistan and Iraq....train their police properly whilst throwing money at them.

Fucking superstitious, backwards, scuzz !

I really do hope as a society that one day we can get past our superstitions.
