25. NATO isn't deliberately targeting children for murder

I don't think anybody on this board lacks outrage about the illegal and immoral wars that W started in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the terrible loss of innocent life that has resulted from them.

President Obama didn't start those wars; he took them on his shoulders. He has done what he can to stabilize the countries that W destroyed, so that we can leave responsibly.

In an ideal world, 911 would have been a wake up call instead of a call to war.

In a fantasy world, we could just pack our bags and leave.

In the real world, the sorry fact is that the west started screwing over the ME a long, long time ago. Before President Obama was born. Before many of us were born. That is our inherited bad karma and you can't walk away from karma.

Unfortunately for us, W added exponentially to our bad karma. All we can do now is try to dial it back a day at a time.
