My stoicism towards Iraqis dying stemmed from them hating us. I'm sorry - but I don't "love my enemy" and I will not waste my feelings or tears on someone who would kill me if they could. I understand not all arabs hate us - but the majority do (the ones actually in the middle east - Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, etc). It sucks they hate us so much - but its their hate, not mine. I choose not to care if people that hate me die, but I certainly do NOT condone the killing of those people(as some of the arabs paraded and cheered when 9/11 happened). Do I feel someone should help the Iraqis? YES! Should Saddam be removed? YES! And to the power thing - I think the US has done a superb job of managing the power that we do have. We could easily have become Naziesque or reinvented manifest destiny - but we didn't. You cannot expect our government not to act in its own interests - that would be folly to demand otherwise. We are the greatest country because we look out for #1.
What kind of drunk are you?
"And Shepherds we shall be, for Thee my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand
that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
We shall flow a river forth unto Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Fili, et Spiritu Sancti."
