Serious questions - why does the West believe it can slaughter

[malaise]

millions in the Middle East and not be viewed as terrorists?

Do we really think the relatives of those killed by illegal wars, bombs, guns, drones, beheadings or crucifixions differentiate the method of the slaughter.

Where was the outrage for the Palestinian children from the same Western leaders who are rightlyo utraged at the beheading of an American journalist?

Because the West controls the narrative does not mean that others buy their point of view.

1. That's true, malaise. I have doubts now that the West will be able to

defeat IS for a variety of reasons. We need a Saddam Hussein type who knows what these people are afraid of. They have a lot of religious type fears. And will the Saudis start buying IS their own Altius-M's? I say yes.

2. The West has created a fugging mess

but if you want perpetual war, that would have been the original plan - CHAOS!

5. It's what that Graham-Cracker guy here, I think

his name is, calls Disaster Capitalism, and like you say: this was the original neocon plan to keep fighting and make money off the toys. I look forward bleakly. I talk to the wife about leaving the US, but is there really anywhere to go now? I wonder if in the final analysis we may have to fight IS with our purchased Glocks and Winchesters. That might sound stupid to you but I am discounting nothing. Who is that guy's picture you use? I saw his picture in Maui when I was there in March. He had the dredlocks.

3. The media controls the message, can ignore facts, but they can not control or change the facts.

11. ..."real patriots"

I believe that is the term used to describe the practitioners of that "art"

[WinkyDink]

19. Are you getting sanctimonious on me?

[malaise]

17. But anyone else who tortures is a terrorist

We now - we're the good guys. What a piece of crap.

[elias49]

12. Because we have the power to do so

and the greed to drive us past conscience.

13. 'Murica, Fuck Yeah. If America was good enough for Jesus...

I swear to the Flying Spaghetti Monster I'm so sick of these RW Neo-Neaderthals who think they are so better than every other being on the planet.

Their god, their language, their ______. Everyone else is beneath them and not worth anything.

14. Saudi Arabia vs Iran vs Kurdistan

Three religious, macho groups of people going after each other. We need to sit back and let them all kill each other, and then try to make friends with the greatly weakened winner.

Granted, millions more will be dead, dying, displaced, or destitute - but they will only be able to blame each other, not us. And if we really get lucky, their ability to produce and sell oil will be devastated, which will force the hand of the world to get busy with solar and other alternative energy sources.
