Lest anyone forget the political support for the deaths of 10s of Ks of INNOCENT Iraqis:

As you encounter those drooling at the prospect of War with Iran, perhaps you'll ask yourself what the hell kind of people ARE "we"?

1. "we"

Got a frog in your pocket??

[patrice]

3. Unless you don't pay taxes that's a "we" for you too and please note the quotations marks,

they mean that the word is being used in a manner that brings its conventional definition, i.e. us in this particular case, into question.

2. Thank you, Patrice.

By any reasonable standard of measure, the US currently must be regarded as the most savage, violent and imperialistic of the advanced nations.

If any other country in the world had killed as many millions as we have in the last 30 years, they would certainly be considered so.

The U.S. needs a massive mirror and a few years to spend peering into it.

4. The whole story of how this happened is unbearable and yet we are definitely getting ready to forget

[bluestateguy]

5. As I said several years ago

the only reason American public support for the Iraq war collapsed was because of American casualties. I do not believe that Americans ever gave a fig about civilians being killed.

6. I'm even more cynical than that.

I think it was the cost of the war in money that collapsed the support of it.

7. You're very wrong...

...it's more likely 100's of thousands.

8. Lest "we" forget what "we" did to the People in Viet Nam

talk about savages, "we" are

9. It's a hard thing to accept and think how this fact about us will affect our children and our elders
