What about the 100k+ Iraqis dead... We seem to only care
about the 2000 US soldiers.... Are their lives less than ours?

IMO, For 90% of Americans the answer is YES!

3. That's been the number quoted for over a year
Haven't any more died in the last year - I think perhaps the number should be more like 200,000 but it's tough to say because no one is counting. Bush and company don't care about Americans (That make less then several million a year) so they sure the hell don't care about Iraqis.

5. Well, they do have brown skin...
...and a funny religion, so they must be savages. And, like any good imperialists, we can do anything we want with savages and keep a clear conscience.

6. What's the matter with you?
We're liberating them.
We're re-building their infrastructure.
We're giving them business opportunities.
We're helping their women get respect.
We're helping their children obtain an education.
. . .

:sarcasm:

10. That's what fucks up this world so much-
that there is an 'Us' and a 'Them.'

We're all in this together, all come from the same place and we are all 'Us.'

Until more people get this, we will remain fucked up, and continue to fuck up the world at large, as if there is somewhere else to go.

11. You hit it right on the head
It can't be any clearer, the golden rule should be the first lesson taught to everyone.
