Everytime we pretend that this is the worst thing ever, and that they are not human for doing it, upsets people right here at home who have relatives who were burned to death by christians in America with the Sherrif watching. We pretend our motives for murder and violence are and were better than theirs. Of course omething needs to be done. Just without all of the lies and self congradulatory sanctimony.
And the uproar about the president even mentioning Jim Crow is insane. Thousands of Anericans lynched until 1968, and this is the worst thing ever? We are pretening we are th good ones again. There are no good ones in war and violence. We did white phosphorous ten years go, they're using gasoline now. Their fighters are raping girls. Our soldiers raped girls. We don't do slavery anymore, they do. We lock millions of men in slave like conditions in our prison plantations and call it legal and right because we use a rigged court system to cull our undesireables. They sell theirs for cash. Humans are fucked up. We need to keep talking about what we did wrong before, so we don't gung ho ourselves into slaughtering a bunch of people and continuing the cycle. We demand justice and the muslim world to change and speak out, but we absolve ourselves of the million Iraqis we killed, raped and burned to death.
