It's frightening how easily we accept brutality.

9. Too many Americans stood by and cheered "Shock and Awe" when US Armed Forces

destroyed Baghdad for supposedly being involved in "9/11", having WMD's, or living under a cruel dictatorship. We killed hundreds of thousands of citizens minding their own business, orphaned a million children, and started the emigration of Arabs to European countries causing untold damage to their nations.

We spent 20 years in Iraq and Afghanistan for what? We lost over 5000 military personnel, killed millions of Arabs, and ran our National Debt up to $20T for absolutely nothing. Other than Cheney's wet dream of controlling some oil fields and making money for Haliburton on "no bid" contracts to rebuild what we just destroyed.

And people are appalled now what is happening in the Ukraine. Don't think for one minute our troops did not do the same or worse to people that crossed their paths in Iraq. You just don't hear about it, and probably don't want to believe it. The Russians are doing no different now than we did for 20 years. And American troops were just as savage the Russians to the German civilians at the end of WWII.

War is war and it all sucks. Violent, mean, savage and mostly without any morals.
