1. Yeah. And taking his word is like taking the word of a murderer whose presiding

over his own trial.

3. Isn't it pathetic that someone like that...

...can spot heinous evil perpetrated by the United States, but we keep engaging in these
murderous, evil actions?

Even the worst scumbags can see that our country's government has become perverse, sadistic,
greedy and pathological.

There are plenty of good people in the United States who are sick of this putrid murder that
is committed in our name. The US--dropping bombs on innocent people so the neocons
can continue profiting and benefiting from the resources they steal from people too
overpowered and traumatized to fight back. Lovely, just lovely.

We see it. And now--as you said, even the scumbags of the world--see it.

We are becoming a complete abomination on the global stage.

5. and we all know

6. The only reason that predators have become necessary

is because Gaddfi's tanks are hiding in civilian areas bombing hospitals, food supplies, water supplies and even sewage plants with cluster bombs - crimes against humanity.

As Desmond Tutu said:

“If Africa’s leaders held their peers to account there would be no need for the people of Libya to suffer human rights violations,” said founder of the Desmond Tutu Peace Centre, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu. “And there would be no need for United Nations sanctioned military interventions in Libya."

“Instead, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has for more than 40 years honed his skills in the art of resource management to win friends and influence people. And as a result, Africa seems powerless to stop him.

“The scenes of brutality being meted out with sophisticated weaponry by Libyan security forces against their own civilian population make God weep. With every blow they strike, each human rights abuse they perpetrate, they bring shame on Africa,” Archbishop Tutu said.

“As South Africans, we are acutely conscious of the value of human rights and democracy. We prosecuted a noble struggle against a morally corrupt and brutal apartheid regime, emerging as an example to the world in the fields of peaceful settlement, peacekeeping and reconciliation.

“The South African government took the moral position last week of supporting United Nations Resolution 1973 on Libya. Now, it should go a step further and urgently and unequivocally condemn the violence being perpetrated against Libyans."

7. Look who's talking...

If you ask me, we should be loading those drones up with napalm bombs and dropping them on Qaddafi's bunker...

8. We with our big bombs and high=tech killing are allways right. We don't harm civilians

We write the rules and get the gold (and the oil)
