Bullsheet.
Our military is famed for killing many civilians. Sometimes for fun! Sometimes just to see them bleed! Kinda like Cortez, who cut open pregnant women to see if the woman was going to have a boy or girl.
And why do you think 9/11 happened? Because the US has messed up much of the world. I'd dare say we damn well deserved it.

Of course she lost that debate. If you do not answer important basic questions about financial and economic issues that are crucial in the devastating crisis which is now going on (... McCain's preferences for deregulation instead of regulation) and simply state that she will talk "straight to the American people" instead, you lose the debate.
Originally posted by der schwarze RitterIf you think my comment is aimed as a way of explaining or apologizing for the evil of others on 9/11 then you are seriously mistaken. Evil is evil and the vengeful response of a supposed Christian nation as a reaction to the evil perpetrated by extremists who also claimed God's blessings are no less evil.
Your moral compass must be completely smashed for you to compare the 9/11 hi-jackers who murdered 3,000 innocent people to our military who have taken extraordinary lengths to avoid civilian casualties.
America as a nation will survive the Bush era and doctrine. The cloaking of America's response to terrorist attack as some form of righteous prerogative is no less misguided as those in the Islamic community who take up violent militant action as their jihad response to what they consider to be injustice.
Criticizing America's response to 9/11 does not legitimize the terror that occured that day. Terror whether fought individually or institutionally is just as evil.
That's what my moral compass directs me to conclude.

I pray you're in the next 9/11 because the world would be a far better place without apologists for evil like you.
Originally posted by treetalkI can't find the post, but somebody said something funny about DSR coming across like Al Jolson singing Mammy -- it's really the only way to appreciate him: as an unbridled caricature. Bit like throwing peanuts at a syphilitic ape ...
