I played the very first game in the Rainbow Six series, years ago, and my thought at the time was, "I want a game that lets you play as the terrorist..."

But I knew, even as soon as I had the thought, that no game company would dare, and if one did, the game would be suppressed immediately.

The sad fact is, there are elements in the world, and especially in the USA, that just have a knee-jerk negative reaction to anything to do with gaming.

Many of these people are the same sorts who think that a Renaissance painting entitled "The Death of Socrates" is homosexual pornography.

There's really very little room for discussion or compromise with people who believe that their opinion or beliefs should be allowed to restrict our freedoms.
