They use words. They say "collateral damage". They say "civilian casualty". They can not understand that when one of their bombs burns the skin off of an Iraqi child's body, the word "collateral damage" is not a sufficient characterization. They do not understand that they do NOT have the right to decide who lives and who dies in this world. They do not have the right to take human lives and destroy families in order to pursue their objectives. Furthering "American Interests" (surely a loaded phrase anyway) does not justify MURDERING HUMAN BEINGS from other countries. You would think that would be obvious. That they wouldn't want it done to them, doesn't seem to enter into the discussion. Makes me sick.

Great Video. K & R.

They don't care...........

And that's who we're dealing with, people who don't give a fuck about you or me or anybody who's not a member of their country club. They have no empathy for other living things.

Anyone who accepts the concept "collateral damage" in an unnecessary war started to advance US imperialism also has no empathy. That's a whole heck-of-a-lot of "Americans".

I have a 2 year old son. Just as I do not recognize the right of foreign terrorists to take his life in order to further their cause, I do not recognize the right of the GWB administration to take Iraqi life to further its cause.

Simple concept, lost on many in this country.
