If loudmouthed, arrogant, flag-waving, "exceptionalist" Americans EVER had to experience, on their own soil, what we have inflicted on human beings in other parts of the world, they would have hanged GWB, Dick Cheney, and their ilk, from lamp-posts long ago for even suggesting invading other countries.

To those who mumble inanities about "what we have fought for", the author, a former Naval intelligence officer, says, "How many lives, how much money, how many years? You look us in the eye and you fucking tell us."



For my own part: What those three children are experiencing is going to screw up the lives of countless others (their children, grandchildren, etc.) for the next one hundred years.

I don't care to say how I know this to be the case.
