How different is?

The killing of thousands of Iraqis in Iraq by representatives of the US administration in an attack on Iraqi soil, largely considered wrong by most of the world - but justified by the attackers due to the aggressive foreign policies of Iraq.

The killing of thousands of Americans in America by representatives of Al Qaeda in an attack on US soil, largely considered wrong by most of the world - but justified by the attackers due to the aggressive foreign policies of the USA.

It's like a 'strange loop' in Gödel, Escher, Bach

It was yesterday's news that got me thinking - on the fact that a high percentage of Iraqis support attacks on the occupying troops. And that 82 per cent are "strongly opposed" to the presence of coalition troops.

The recent British Ministry of Defense/Iraqi university research poll leaked to the UK's Daily Telegraph - shows that up to 65 per cent of Iraqi citizens in some regions support the attacks on US and UK troops and fewer than one per cent think Allied military involvement is helping to improve security in their country.

In a Newsweek Poll conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International in early 2003, 69 percent of American citizens supported the handling of Iraq by Bush. In a CBS poll in 2005, 66 per cent of Americans felt that as a result of the United States' military action against Iraq, the United States is less safe from terrorism, or did not make any difference.

1. BECAUSE WE'RE THE GOOD, GET OVER IT!

Didn't you know the USA represent all virtue and goodness and light? EVERYTHING we do is for the Good. We are the Blessed. And if you think otherwise, you'd better watch it or else Bill O'Reilly and the Objectivist Society will label you EVIL and a RADICAL.

When we slaughtered Indians, it was for THEIR own good! We saved them from their EVIL communal lifestyle and introduced them to ZONING!

When we had slavery, LOOK AT ALL THE AFRICANS THAT WERE SAVED! And, oh what a gig! Didn't you hear what Dinesh D'Souza, a certified authority on the subject by the way, said about it? "The American slave was treated like property, which is to say, pretty well."

It is IMPOSSIBLE for America to do evil! Not in the Code.

Oh, you really think so, huh?

OK, if you say so...
