Flimsy Sanity: Do the Count

Flimsy Sanity

In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule. - Friedrich Nietzsche

Do the Count

The Chicken Hawk politicians who run this country may have read heard about the Vietnam War so they are determined that this war will be different. They think the war was lost by the hippies who protested - so we have a controlled media that does not publicize the peace marches or mention the body counts - in fact, they do the exact opposite. Iraq Dead 30,0000 vs Our Brave Men 2,000. No coffins are to be shown. Attack dogs O'Reilly and Limbaugh compare soldier deaths to US policeman deaths and lie that they are comparitively less and very minor. People in Iraq are so much nobodies that they don't even deserve counting. Unnamed and unnoticed: Iraqi Casulties by Judith Coburn. The lessons Bushco learned by Vietnam was not to talk about "the unimportant people". Bush was probably drunk and missed the lesson about how lying to engage in war such as the Gulf of Tonkin will bite you in the ass.
