@cicerone imposter,
Quote:Think Iraq and Vietnam. Both wars were started on lies, and we ended up killing tens of thousands of innocent people.
First, they weren't wars. They were illegal wars of aggression, war crimes, acts of the most awful forms of terrorism.
And the numbers, "tens of thousands" - typical even for an open minded, thinking American like CI. Millions in Vietnam, probably a million in the saturation bombing of Laotian and Cambodian cities, towns and villages, responsibility for the further carnage wrought by the Khmer Rouge.
I heard a report the other day where an Iraqi journalist, a "friend" to the US was saying how Iraqis are so sickened by the casual disregard for the numbers who have died, the incredible low balling that the US media always engages in to hide the actual numbers murdered during their war crimes.
