...... killed unknown numbers of inocent men, women and children when he dropped tonnes of incendiary bombs on none strategic towns in Germany during WW2.....
War is war. Without a doubt some - a very very few - are more 'just' than others. Two images stand out for me, the Vietnamese girl running down the road after being naplamed, and during the so-called 'shock and awe' in Iraq, photos of children in hospital in Bagdad with arms and legs blown off.
As a westerner I don't like the thought that the fuel I buy may have been paid for in the blood and lives of innocent children. We live in a scary world and it is only going to get worse.
Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.Pardon please my bleak view of human nature.
Trouble is, Islamic extremists are probably a lot less dangerous in the US, than, well, other Americans?
This article doesn't include Iraq civilians whom are dying a rate of at least 15-1 to the occupying forces.
Small item of sardonic humor I came across.
Siege Of Fallujah Voted Best Ceasefire Ever
In a response to the pentagon's recent statement that today's mammoth exchanges of hostile weapons fire did not mean that the fragile ceasefire negotiated between Iraqi insurgents and the U.S had ended, the International Protocol Evaluation Committee on All Ceasefires (IPECAC) voted the Fallujah ceasefire the "best ever."
Dr. Neb Blimbo explained that while most ceasefires were "outright dull," the ceasefire at Fallujah had been "really spiced up" by the spectacular plumes thrown up by primary and secondary explosions against the night sky.
"Ceasefires are so much more exciting when the parties are absolutely blowing the living crap out of each other," he explained.
Blimbo further explained that the siege of Fallujah still qualified as a ceasefire because the participants "cease firing every ten seconds or so when they have to reload."
Dr. Blimbo's other favorite ceasefires include the Tet Offensive, ethnic cleansing in Bosnia, and Custer's Last Stand.
