One thing that strikes me from the tragedy in India: in Iraq the USA bombed and killed innocent |
|
people like these by the thousands and there was no horror in the networks. This is so sad, that all those scenes from the war were hidden from Americans and they don't realize that we participate in something pretty horrible too. And it was not a war, it was an invasion.

Unfortunately, that means that we will also continue to inflict ourselves on innocent people. And the next chapter will be written with tactical nuclear weapons.
"Pro-Life" is a LIE.

3. agreed..the iraq invasion was blacked out |
|
and made into a propaganda piece deliberately meant to sell it like a football game. and no one in the US saw the carnage we wrought, or the horror. and its still going on, and its still blacked out.
