Morality of the United States

Hellfire
It's so fucking exciting


My God, look at those little figures running...

I've posted before about the diabolical methods being used to incinerate whole blocks out of an area the size of south Chicago. Here you see the action, as the Apache helicopter pilot celebrates. I can't even begin to know what to say, except the U.S. must get out of Iraq.

Juan Cole thinks that Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani may be forced to issue a fatwa blessing Iraqi Shiite militias to respond to the American attacks. Obviously it's complicated and some of these militias are bad actors. But come on, this kind of overwhelming force in their country against them? What should we expect in return?

Practically everybody in the world understands American taste for blood. They don't see the young men pulling these triggers the same heroic way we do. Personally, I don't blame the helicopter pilot. But I see how someone who is under these guns could. It's bad for them and bad for us. Everybody loses.
