And the self-Righteous hypocrites NEVER gave a rat's ass about who was dying where in UNNECESSARY wars of choice before January 20,2009.

And they still don't other than as a means of feeding their bash Obama cravings

Might want to remove blinders and look at the reality out there.
What if no one cares? We want cheap oil, that's all we care about. What if it's that simple?

Expecting people who don't care to care---seems like a waste of time to me.

Remaining silent in the face of pure evil or pure stupidity is not a reasonable option.

Not really my opinion. If it was up to me we would have NO troops in the ME. But I'm just one person and have nothing to do with what goes on. I can pray and I can vote. That's it.

Look at humans throughout history. Seems it's in the grand plan for some to get stepped on and for some to do the stepping. I don't think it's ever going to change. Ever.

NATO Air Strike Kills Eight Children in Afghanistan -- News from Antiwar.com
Think, Just how many lives the Taliban are responsible for.... Any military/paramilitary group that uses children and civilians as SHIELDS is far worse than anyone that launches the missiles. They do so with no regard for the lives of the children. The Taliban has been using children as shields for years. They, themselves, have killed more children than all the NATO strikes put together. Would you like them to be free to continue that?

So we aren't better than them?
The "we have to kill children to save children" school of thought

People are too ignorant and wrapped up in their I phones, reality tv, crappy music and entertainment news to protest.... unfortunately, this is not the 60's and early 70's
