Afghanistan Rights Monitor Reports Afghan War Kills 3 Children A Day
Commented Jan 07, 2010 at 11:46:38 in World
“Exactly correct. And for each person who loved one of those kids killed by us OR the Taliban, there will spring up another young person who only wants to kill Americans. We really should leave. The entrapment and killing of our CIA people really just demonstrated that we do not know what we are doing over there. Were it not for the need to make profits for our military industrial complex we'd probably leave. Our MIC lobbyists depend on neverending war.”

“These people are angry with us on many levels. Angry because we have supported Israell and not stood up for the Palistinians and because we had troops in Saudi Arabia and because of our attacks in George the First's turkey shoot in Iraq. Every civilian we kill over there creates more terrorists. Those folks are very sensitive to perceived invasions. In many areas, we have not been the good guys since World War Two, and shockingly some people think we ought not have bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Lots of people don't like us. We need to be nicer..”

“Thank you Stephen! (I say this as a person preparing to take an international flight back home to the USA tomorrow. Ugh).. Flying is already a major horror. And the US focus in Afghanistan (and still in Iraq) is likely only producing more people who will die to kill us. However it is making the war profiteers rich and allowing them to lobby and throw money at our elected officials.”

“Sometimes it is not so sad. It's great living alone and not having to bother with somebody else and hanging with your dogs and taking care of just yourself and your dogs. It's really great. Do it. Women get stuck in caring after men who can't cook or clean or polish their own shoes. Having your own friends and doing what you want when you eant to do it...price

And if a woman has to worry and wonder all the time if her partner is cheating, it's just not worth it.”

“Campaign finance reform. 100% publicly funded campaigns. NO TV or issue ads. None of this, "Call senator so and so and tell him you don't want the government in your hair" ads. No TV ads. That's what costs money and that is how they manipulate our uneducated fearful citizens. These are dangerous times - ripe for a demagogue.”

“campaign finance reform”
Chopin replied on Dec 14, 2009 at 00:32:37
“Campaign finance reform will NOT happen through appeal to logic and reason by the front door, but might come in by the back door through fear and terror. --- If a majority of the people perceive that it's time to throw out ALL INCUMBENTS, EN MASSE, that unmistakable revolutionary act will be interpreted by ALL NEW REPRESENTATIVES to be not business as usual, and that it's time to change the ground rules about elections --- that is, PUBLIC CAMPAIGN FINANCING. That is the only practical way in which I can see the good end result of PCF coming into existence, with a clean slate, through the back door.”

“Agree. I wonder how much of this is about that. And much of this is about Gates and Hillary pushing him to do this (for the MIC? because they think it's smart?). David Rhode's five part story in the NYT about his time as a prisoner in Pakistan would lead one to think the predators drones are creating more people who hate us. It's a tough call - if they work and don't kill innocents.
