I think it's important to note that Greenpeace's anti-whaling campaign started in 1975 in a world that was much less environmentally conscious than it is now. It can be argued that protests, lobbying and direct action on the part of Greenpeace eventually led to the acceptance of a moratorium by the IWC in 1986. So I think it's a bit unfair to blame Greenpeace. But I agree that it's debatable whether or not the same tactics are useful today. And you bring up a really good point- tuna is a HUGE issue but doesn't get nearly as much attention- perhaps in part because it's not a "sexy" issue. While I think it is important to be extremely sensitive regarding cultural differences and even "eco-imperialism", we also can't just ignore problems so as not to offend anyone..
