The U.S. government is stupid beyond redemption and so are pro-war people. There is absolutely no cause justifiable for mass murder, and that is what a war is. Thousands of people are killed by pro-war people, and what's so damnable is that those pro-war people sitting in their cozy home don't even have to lift a hand. They just "support the troops." Right, place all the blame on the soldiers, some or most, I don't know, who must be against this war too. Armies should exist to protect a country, not invade one. It's laughable how people can actually justify a mass murder under the name of "war." Doesn't it prick their miniscule conscience to know that thousands of people're killed because of people like them? Or is it that they have no brains to understand what's going on, or have no conscience at all so that they don't feel anything to know that thousands of people're killed? It's incredible. "They're not targetting civilians, so it's all right." How can I express my incredulity at such a dumb sentiment? Does it matter that if it's civilian or not? Aren't they both human beings? Or have they suddenly split into different species? They're not human beings anymore? Looking at the news, apparently not. They've all become damn numbers. It's really like watching a strategy game unfolding before you, the way they present it. I can't stand it. I don't know how anyone can stand it, let alone condone what the U.S. government is doing. People are dying. People are killed. For what? For "liberation?" At the cost of their lives that they did not agree to sacrifice? If people want to martyr themselves, it's their choice, but these people weren't given the choice. For the sake of pride, oil, for whatever, they're getting killed. How can you bear it? It's on your conscience if you support the war. It's on my conscience because I don't know how to stop the war. Dammit. Why can't these people understand that no war can be justified?
