That sir is the mark of a Zealot and in my eyes it makes you no better than the fanatics who stormed our embassies.

Nice attempt. But what for? There is no medal you can win here. So when you run out of argument, why don'T you just shut up, instead of trying cheats and defame others by intentionally misquoting them, giving yourself a bad name that way as a cheater. I recall that thread, it was years ago, it had nothing to do with the issue here, and I made a very different point back then than what you now imply in an attempt to give me bad name. But why caring for such subtleties when lies serve your purpose so much better.
I take from this desperate stunt that you have no more arguments to defend your confusion and that you ran out of knowledge on what is being talked about in this thread.

For the record, in a years ago ago thread about Burma I said that tyrants most likely educate their children in the same spirit they act by themselves, so that their children, when being grown up, do like their fathers; so in order to make tyrants like in Burma giving up their tyranny it could be considered legal to threaten their families or when upprise of th epeople occurs it may not be sufficient to justg kill the tyrant, but his offpsrings as well since else they will survive and bring back conflict later in a bid to regain what their fathers have lost. I also said, I think in a different thread at that time, that when it comes to weighing the fate of millions against the fate of a few, threatening the families of tyrants in order to make them give up their power can be considered a valid option. Compare to for exmaple the defence in some states for shooting down hijacked passanger planes, sacrificing the few in order to save the many on the ground. A policy that August's country subscribes to, btw, both regarding hijacked planes and collateral damages caused by drone warfare as well - the ratio the US finds acceptable between killed valid targets and collateral losses, rates higher than 1:10.
Why August linked a discussion on Chan buddhism and psychology to Burmese tyrant'S families instead of mentioning the shooting order for hijacked planes or the high rate of collateral losses by drone warfare, and why he thinks any of this has anything to do with an eplanation of the thinking frame of Chan buddhism, will remain his own secret. You could as well answer with "Blue" when somebody asks you for the time.
