These false equivalency posts (Drones vs. Boston attack) are ridiculous

66. So you think that when George Bush went to Iraq he went there honestly and gave orders to avoid

killing and torturing and falsely imprisoning civilians for years and years without charges, many of them tortured to death in those prisons while their loved ones desperately tried to get them released and their lawyers pleas were ignored?

Have we held anyone accountable for those deliberate crimes yet against innocent civilians, many of them children, some raped and sodomized?

If we have not, then I see no difference frankly.

Pakistanis eg, have protested the killings of their children by drone, they have tried to sue for compensation, they have appealed for justice. But all have been ignored. So it seems to me we have no excuses at all unless you agreed that Bush's war was justified in some way. An argument that is hard to make since Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. We just barged into a country that had done nothing to us, didn't even threaten to do anything, lying about the reasons why and killing countless civilians in a country we had no business being in.

It is the equivalent of someone's brother breaking into someone's else's home, shooting the place up, killing people who are in there and then accidentally killing a few neighbors, then claiming the neighbors are not your fault, they are 'collateral damage'. The fact that you illegally entered the home armed to the teeth makes you responsible for every death that occurs there and in the surrounding areas. If you, the brother are not a criminal like your sibling, you will condemn those crimes. Otoh, if you try to defend them BECAUSE it is your brother, then you become complicit.

Me, I prefer not to be complicit in mass murder which is how I always viewed Bush's Iraq War and still do. He should have been prosecuted for war crimes, which I think we all USED to agree about. But he wasn't, her was protected. Which says so much about our country that is beyond sad. Especially for the victims.
