I know it's warm today, but overheating and going OTT on what is a reasonable comment is pointless.

More progress would likely have been made if many of the protesters in the west has recognised these facts a bit more.
Let's go back to the troubles of NI. Supposing the IRA had done a mass bombing exercise throughout major cities in Great Britain and killed say, 1000-2000 civilians. And in response, the British Army were tasked with wiping out the IRA and in doing so, killed about 40,000 Irish people, most of which were women and children. Would you say then 'well, it's the IRA's fault. You can blame them'?
