Watching Iraq disintegrate makes me want to break things.

124. It's certainly debatable . . .

whether Genghis Khan's or the Mongol's violence was worst than just Hiroshima and Nagasaki alone?

And that's not even counting the Native American decimation, or the hundreds of years of lost lives of the middle passage of slavery for God's sake!

C'mon already! It's all horrible. We live in the belly of the beast whether you want to acknowledge it or not. We've been either at war, occupying a country, or staging coups continually since the late 1890s (read Steven Kinzer's book, "Overthrow: America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq&quot . We've perfected it and make Genghis Khan look like an amateur, all in the name of freedom and liberty of course.

I'm just glad we finally have a president whose first inclination is to avoid war not to start it. I say it's about time we had someone like him in the White House. Maybe he can set a precedent that others will follow and we can get off the endless war track.
