Marines were bulldozing houses in Fallujah yesterday.
About the same number of people died in both Iraq and in the Tsunami. One deserves an outpouring of our aid, everyone reaches into their pockets, the other we just fight over like a dog with a piece of meat.

1. I was just thinking about this today
How can anyone seriously think that the rest of the world is gonna believe this "look America is a compassionate country" bullshit when at the same time we are flattening cities and killing innocent people in a unjustified and illegal war.
Give me a f'ing break

2. Well, you just can't improve on a plan that --
-- seeks to win hearts and minds than to bulldoze the fuck out of people's houses.

I'm surprised they could even find some houses still standing.

This war is a disaster.

5. The world will see us a schizophrenic
We bomb innocents in the name of God and self-protection, and we save innocents from horrific acts of God. Uuh?

7. Isn't that a war crime?
Can't the thugs that did that be arrested?
