Considering the numbers of casualties, which is more plausible:

[Just Me]

Anti-Semitism or Anti-Muslim?

Think about it.

[whistle]

1. I don't think the west has reached 6.0 million dead muslims yet

...but we are getting close that number I am sure.

[blonndee]

3. And that applies to the current situation, how? nt

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

2. how about anti-human? eom

[Just Me]

6. Okay. I've rather adopted that,....in terms of economic oppression.

However, the deaths of hundreds of thousands,...

4. High School football.

This 'conflict', like all others, gets the South Texas HS football treatment - no one cares about universal moral relevancy, all the 'competitors' care about is the score:

23 dead Israelis
190 dead Lebanese.

It is a scoreboard, nothing more to some, that allows 'their side' the right to shout in self-righteous indignation towards their 'competitor'. And like a STHS football game, both sides glorify every touchdown with an increase in the bodycount. Cheerleaders wave pom poms, girls sign artillery shells and children strap-on bombs to become the next martyr.

What really bothers me now, is the fact that I have so much blood on MY hands! My brothers and sisters have been killing people by the thousands in Iraq for over 3 years, IN MY NAME. No matter if I don't agree, IN MY NAME, by the Republic I support and defend. Swimming in blood. And so too does that war get treated like a football game:

2,500 dead US troops
30-100,000 dead Iraqis.

So are we winning yet? That seems to be all that counts.

[Just Me]

7. Yes. I have thought of our foreign (and domestic) policy that way.

I don't think we'll ever win,...on this path. It's a lose/lose travel.

5. Ugh

Turning the ugliest aspects of human nature into a competition is not particularly a positive thing.

[Just Me]

8. True. It does seem a "competition" though, doesn't it?

:cry: A competition of wills, with the strongest beating the fuck out of the weakest in order to impose power.

That's how it seems. Of course, I am looking through the window of those who view humanity as a means to their ends.
