In reply to the discussion: The Rude Pundit: Sorry, But Fuck Syria [View all]Oakenshield
(626 posts)53. We have no moral authority!!
That's the part that really fucking pisses me off! Hello?! How many civilians have died since we got involved with Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam?! Let's not forget the agent orange and uranium ammunition we've used during those conflicts. Ruthless drone strikes aren't helping our supposedly "heroic" national image either.
And now we're trying to play the champion of peace and human rights? I could vomit, that's how utterly disgusted I am by this rank hypocrisy.
