Thanks, PJammer for bringing this piece of shit to my attention. The sheer fucking callous ignorance of this just floors me. SHAME ON YOU!

millarca sez:
There was once a big bully that thought it was OK to pick on people, and third world countries. One day the bully's enemies got together and decided there were force in numbers.

The people got together and rallied for social and political change. When their cries went unheard they took measures into their own hands, and started fighting back.

Now the bully is crying, and calling them terrorist.

I call them freedom fighters!

I agree that these were outrageously horrifying acts and in no way want to justify them. But at the same time, a country that has often acted as a bully to many parts of the world and usurps a major share of the world's resources by a minority of the worlds population should not wonder that it has enemies.

I really don't think that anyone is so naive as to be surprised that we have enemies. By accident of birth and residency in this country, I suppose that I reap the benefits of the "usurped resources" you speak of...like anyone else who happens to live here. However, I don't let my own government off the hook for its brutality. I actively and PEACEFULLY work for change, in my own little (and sometimes big) way. That's precisely why I won't make excuses for anyone who commits atrocities against innocent people---no matter where they're from, what they believe, or what their history is.
