If you see it as the same you are fucking retarded
Tsk. tsk. tsk.
I doubt that your soldier to civilian rate is better.
The air raids on Somalia are a good example.
And I still do not get why you think that anyone around the world gives a shit if you meant well after a bomb has wiped out his family, let alone that what you call a terrorist another man might call a freedom fighter or martyr.
And Lixy has one point:
If they had carriers and planes and bombs they would not use suicide bombers.
Would you feel better if they had enough money to nuke you?
Would that be more honorable?
As honorable as US bombs? You know, them being dropped from 30000 feet at no risk for the pilot whatsoever…
When it comes to the mindless adoration for the US military, the US flag or the US anthem and the paradigm that US lives are just worth more than the average human being, Lixy is spot on.
Hey orion,
Produce one quote from any poster saying American lives are more valuable that Iraqi civilians and I’ll buy you a new bicycle.
When you fail in this quest, please drop that from your bilious rhetoric.
Deal?
Thanks in advance.

I very much doubt that anyone is going to say that out loud, but looking in from the outside you cannot help but notice.
We have all seen the reaction to the 3000 dead on 9,11 and the 30 at Virginia tech.
If someone asked how come nobody grieved as much for the millions that died since WW2 because of US interventions or the 30 people dying in Iraq every day, it ws considered to be very bad taste.
How dares anyone to insinuate that there might be a connection between 9,11, people dancing in the streets and Americas action in the past.
