    This article talks more about the ammunition than the actual people being killed. Man I hate imperialist media. Also is the American public just… fine with bombing brown people in the Middle East now? Did they ever care?

        They’ve never cared enough to actually do anything about it, but there was at least grumbling and complaints. Right now I’m not hearing a peep.

          500k people in USA went to a protest against the Iraq war. 6 million globally. That was a big day. There were others too.

    right?

    I know one of the rules is to post headlines without editorializing, but it really pisses me off that the term ‘strikes’ is subbed in for ‘bombings’.

      Right seriously, I’ve even so many report it as “raids” which makes it sound like they have troops on the ground.
