Evidence suggests that Americans place less value on human life than other people,

so it's easy to see that Americans are more than happy to swallow the B/S excuses for dropping bombs on civilians.

Currently, slaughtering poor and powerless people in third-world countries is considered an acceptable activity of the US Government, and it's hard to convince most Americans that engaging in such evil behavior disqualifies anyone from being elected US President.

While the majority of world citizens agree that military attacks targeting civilians are never justified, a decade after 9/11, there is a wide range in the level of support for this view. A clear majority in Asia and MENA (Middle East and North Africa) find military attacks against civilians unacceptable. This is not surprising considering the acute conflicts raging in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and other parts of the Middle East.

In contrast, regionally, residents of the U.S. and Canada are most likely to say that military attacks against civilians are sometimes justified. Americans are the most likely population in the world (49%) to believe military attacks targeting civilians is sometimes justified, followed by residents of Haiti and Israel (43%).

17 days until the great purge.

17 days until DU becomes NU (Neocon Underground). I can hardly wait.

In 17 days whistle blowers that expose secrets deserve long prison sentences, but powerful Democrats (sic), for selfish reasons, that expose even more sensitive secrets are not even worthy of condemnation.

In 17 days Henry Kissinger, the world's worst living mass-murderer, will be worthy of friendship and a source of advice.

In 17 days a major proponent of the world's worst crime this century, the Iraq War, will make a great candidate for US President.

In 17 days, murdered Palestinian children (by Israel) in the Gaza Strip will be condemned as propaganda tools that are allegedly being used against Israel.

In 17 days murdering leaders and destroying foreign nations will bring such joy and merriment:




Welcome to Hillary's nightmare
