I don't get. Some mass killings are bad and others are good. If the Martians were to land on Earth, how would they know the good guys from the bad?

Here, Bush and Blair order the droppin' of over 30,000 bombs, millions of rounds of small armed fire, countless tank and artillery rounds at Iraqi people, but thankfully according to Teribus only 1400 were killed. Well, Teribus acknowledges that the figure might be a tad low but, no matter. 1400 people are a lot of people and so I think that killing that many folks constitutes *mass killings*.

So back to the Martians who have just landed and unfortunately for them they have landed in the middle of Iraq. They're looking around and witness a vastly superior army having its way with a vastly inferior army and.... Get the picture, Gareth, and others?

There seems to be this loophole that allows very bad behavior to be looked upon as righteous and moral.

This ain't progress for mankind but a major step backwards. You Bush/Blair apologists, revisionists and rationalizationists may not see it that way. But, fortunately for the human race, lots of us do, thank you.
