Inhumane behavior is part of every war and confict. Brainwashing works. You train people to kill and maim with impugnity, and are horrified that there’s no “on” and “off” switch. The enemy is portrayed as sub-human. We Americans have at least SOME healthcare to return to if left alive. The Iraqis , as well as other Middle East countries don’t HAVE military hospitals for their own soldiers. They’re on their own. It’s madness to throw human beings into this meat grinder. Civilians are caught with nowhere to go. I wish someone would actually try regional diplomacy, for God’s sake.

O.K. I give up.

What does it mean if after posting a comment, it appears with a red background header (191 in this case) upon the auto refresh after clicking “submit”?

Thanks in advance.

Wrote a comment and lost it to digital hell. Essence being: this is what happens when the military and intelligence services become privatized. Started long before Shrub, but Cheney was in on this back as Secretary of Defense under George H.W. Bush…

Oklahoma kiddo @ 26

Rightwinger wins French presidential election after massive turnout.

As rioting broke out at Bastille, on the other side of central Paris, the rightwing former interior minister promised to make France love itself again.

“love itself again” Code words?

Voting machines in France and a right winger wins…Hmmm?… coincidence?

I know I’m late to the party, but I’ve been saying this over and over for years: We have placed our troops in moral jeopardy - by sending them into an immoral war.

Moral Jeopardy. New reality show. Called: Iraq.

I’ve almost finished Ilan Pappe’s The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine. Hard to find the words. He would love to know what you’ve started here on Sunday afternoons.
