Because I dont want to start a flaming thread in this normally peaceful environment.

When I was younger I never thought before saying things - it got me into trouble too often - I've now learnt (the hard way) that not everyone agrees with me

I live in a country that has a reputation for being crime ridden - we have almost 150 policemen killed each year. Even so I, do not believe that goverments should break laws to prevent crime. I believe that the behaviour of the US and British goverments crossed the line (refering to the war in Iraq and Afganistan). However I well understand that other people do not neccessarily agree with that sentiment.

(That was put a lot better than my initial rant )
