believes in the righteousness of why things are the way they are. Howeever, <br/>
borders and boundaries exist because political units exist, and some <br/>
background knowledge of why those units exist or not, is relevant to <br/>
understanding the purpose of the topic at hand.<br/>

<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;moreover just because one may find oneself in an area controlled by a <br/>
&gt;nation state or smaller armed gang doesnt mean one has invited anything <br/>
