[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 159744, member: 2189"] Blackwater also operating in the Sudan and most likely they are elsewhere as well would be my guess. This piece appears a Pro Blackwater piece so be forwarned but the point I'm making is Blackwater is much, much bigger than Iraq itself. [URL]http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htun/articles/20070122.aspx[/URL] Also Empires have always had private forces and quasi military forces to perform it's black ops. The US started as early as the Civil War with what was known as the "Red Legs" and then up until today you can find throughout our history the use of these private/quasi forces to do the dirty work for the US gov't. Empires as they mature begin this natural process and as time goes by these forces come to be worshipped by the larger segment of society as they are seen as a cause for good that can fight down and dirty on the same level as opposing guerillia fighters or in our terms today, what we would call terrorists. Many of our own founding fathers at one time by another empire were described in very similar terms to a terrorist but we only worship them today as heros because we won. How would history and ourselves look upon them had we lost? [/QUOTE]
