(37,573 posts)most of that list just makes me yawn.
So I am not sure much is being accomplished with these attacks, other than to make a very small part of the public very, very angry. About something every day.
37 people killed in YEMEN in the first two weeks of August. I guess that should somehow be more important to me than the 500 killed in America in the same two weeks. A life in Yemen does not, for me, trump ten lives in America.
Executing US citizens without due process. Again, my only reaction to the death of Al-Alwaki is to celebrate.
We simply do not seem to care about the same things - you and I. I am far more concerned about poverty and inequality in the USA than I am about anything in Yemen or Somalia. If I was gonna make a list of things to be angry at Democrats about, most of those items would not make the top 100.
