Beccy was being sarcastic, my friend.

Now, lots of folks kill their own countrymen and lots of folks other country's countrymen. And it's a pretty screwed up thing to do. Sure, we can hold the magnifying glass over Iraq and dwell on whats going on there. Or we could hold the magnifying glass over many places on the planet and find the same crap going on. Texas included where folks have been put to death for not having enough money to hire a competant lawyer.

Problem I have is that the current administration shoots first and asks question, if they feel like it, later. Where's Jimmy Carter when we need him?

And I also ask the question, "Will the world be safer after the US attacks Iraq, killing thousands and thousands of civilians? I don't think so. But Osoma should have a field day with his recruitment campaign.

And just where has been the diplomacy? And why don't we hear the current administartion using the term "human rights" except in trying to sell a war that will bring about such a high number of civilian deaths? And why isn't this adminstartion *doing* anything about the Isreali/Palestianian war when it most certainly... *can*?
