TigerSun, personally I don't buy the "It's all the West's fault" line and from reading some of what he says I think Greenwald is an egotistical pompous twat who revels in people misunderstanding him, provokes it to get a reaction. However, the West IS part of the problem from it's killing of innocent children to it's support of Israel whatever they do, to it's cozying up to Saudi Arabia. He is right that there are double standards applied. We share the outrage when 38 innocent tourists are killed in Tunisia but seem to find it hard to share the outrage when innocent children are killed by a drone and don't acknowledge the outrage that causes in the countries affected and the further recruitment of extremists it causes. So I think he is a bit of a twat but don't think he is excusing the atrocities, he is just seeing the atrocities on both sides.
