Ah, history.

Do you want to go back to the Crusades, and Western Civilization (?) liberating (read "slaughtering") Muslims?

Or do you want to talk about more recent history, the British and Germans competing for the resources (read "slaughtering and subjugating in the process") of the infidel? There's a noble history of military domination of those Muslims and others in Africa and the Middle East.

Read any history of the Western exploration and exploitation of the Nile River. Key words - read any history. Actually try to understand what Western Civilization (?) has done to these people.

Now it's Americans and the British, doing the same thing. Slaughtering the infidel for their resources.

Or are you pretending the British and Germans "freed" the infidels?

Just "liberating" sons-of-guns, aren't we? Stop and think.

Blow away a van with 7 women and children in it, kill 'em, and claim you're liberating them.

Oh, I know, they allegedly didn't stop at a checkpoint. Well, when these people were "liberated", they were in their own country, their own neighborhood, and they were blown away.

And you call that "liberation". See anything wrong with that picture? I mean, if there were any intention of "liberating" 'em, there would be some regard for their lives, some tolerance for frightened civilians who had lived under military domination.

Did those women and children die at the hands of their own oppressive military people, from which they are being freed? Or were they shot do death by people who claim to be "liberating" them.

Do you have the grace to feel foolish for that claim? Have you read the history of colonization of that area? Do you care?
