Well, historically we would still have slavery, nearly the whole of Africa and parts of Asia would perhaps have been European colonies without some extraparliamentiary methods. Also women would perhaps not have the right to vote and apartheid would have reigned in South Africa. Even more trees would have been felled in different parts of the world and the Amazon of Peru and Ecuador would even more than today have been turned into an oil infested, dead swamp.
And one can not talk about Hamas or Al-Quaida without talking about the history of Israel or the provocative US foreign policy that created Al quida and came to its logical consequense in 9/11. Also it is hard to talk about IRA without discussing the interactions between Ireland and England through the centuries.
But here we do not talk about IRA or Al quaida, we talk about an organisation that try to stop whalers from commiting theft on an international resource and destroy threatened animals.
This must also be seen in the light of Japans plundering of other marine resources as for example Tuna that they overfish and also buy from others in large quantities.
