I'd
written before about how during the US assault on Fallujah open war crimes were committed by US military and photos of it were prominently displayed in the NY Times with a seemingly total lack of awareness of what was being displayed. Also how suspicions are that chemical weaponry and depleted uranium were deployed on the residents of Fallujah. An update in the incidence of birth defects is

Jon,
ReplyDeleteWhy isn't it being reported in the States?
The answer is simple "they're not Americans(US)or Christians". Oh yes the States were the main causes for this contamination.
The emotional/political"right"(as in 'port' or 'dexter') mind set needs a 'common' ENEMY (someone to focus our fear HATE on. Negatives emotions are stronger emotion easier to focus ) a means by which to manipulate. This psychological fact is sadly a Human trait. The question is do we roll with it as inevitable or do we actively fight it? My effort and I'd posit yours is the latter. Does that make me biased toward inclusion as opposed to exclusion by exploitation and or selfish indifference?... I HOPE SO! Otherwise, I'm no more than a hairless ape driven by instincts rather than considered thought.
PROVE ME WRONG 'right wingers'!
