wow. that's horrible.
yet you haven't made a peep about the nearly 5000 dead americans in iraq or the trillions that it cost us to go there unnecessarily.
but i guess bush was White. so....
Just a couple questions on that... How long has the war in Iraq been going on?
Is there a draft?
Did people enlist, knowing that they may be sent into combat scenarios?
In the same period, how many American men and women, between 18 -37 (enlistment window) died by:
A. Violent crimes.
B. Suicide.
C. Attacks by terrorists or radicals.
D. Vehicular accidents
(How about a smaller sampling, since the above makes it a statistically safer bet to enlist and go to combat... ) How many men and women, of "enlistment age" were killed, committed suicide, or otherwise died, while incarcerated in the United States, during that same time?
Congress declared war. Yes, GWB was a sock puppet for daddy's agenda, but, until you are ready to indict every member of the house and senate that voted for the Iraq war, your claim is a paper tiger.
EDIT: I'm not saying that it's the same, or that it's good. I'm saying that 5000 in 10 years, with well more than a million seeing combat in the region, as far as wars go, it's looking pretty good on our side. In previous conflicts, we saw more than that in allied/friendly fire. In the U.S. violence and death are rampant. We've had numerous terrorist attacks, Sandy Hook, the Sihk temple, the Batman Premiere... The list is long; yet you are focusing on 5000 that died doing the job they applied for, trained for, and were hired to do. It's no different than a police officer's death. Is it right? That's a subjective question, it's murder - that's illegal. It's not worse than when a citizen dies, though. It's statistically more likely for a police to meet a violent end. They are hired to do the job and "death" is a hazard they are aware of, going into the job. Military is the same.
Comparing a city's corrupt leaders, and leadership that collapsed the cities with a decision that GW Bush didn't even make is, at best, a very dishonest attempt to deflect. If WW marches in her best white sheets, every Friday night, that has nothing to do with the FACT that Kwame was indicted, tried by a jury of his peers, and found Guilty in a court of law. WW Capitalized "White?" Don't like/rep the post. Make a valid argument based on that, without ad hominem attacks, and without trying to use her capitalization as grounds to indict a third pary.
