What you just said is the absolute, unvarnished truth. It's to our eternal shame that we, as voters, look on with almost total indifference upon everything from the Iraq War itself, to the use of depleted uranium, to the droning campaign, and so many other misguided decisions.

We are, as you explained so well, setting a poor example, and it's certainly not the way to win hearts and minds.

Mind you, I'm not referring to violent protest or anything of the kind. Had monsters like Bush - or cold fish like Obama - known that even one these crimes would have led to an 80 or 90-point loss in approval after even one of these decisions, few if any of these things would have happened. Our approval was key.
