I think we're all aware that that's what happens in war. that doesn't mean it should be dismissed and go unmentioned in the countless tiresome speeches we're having hurled at us on this day, whilst the americans who "died for human liberty" (thanks donald rumsfeld) are commemorated and even have all their names read out live on television. what this seems to amount to, to me, is people valuing one race over another, namely americans and afghanis. that fits my definition of racism, how about you?
