See. You don't care about the average Iraqi, do you?

Bowser — 9/30/2004 1:49:11 AM (archived)

Getting Saddam was a "global issue" regardless of what happened to hundreds of thousands of average Iraqis. And you and the other True Believers don't really give a damn. Not even if they are tortured.

So the piety is pathetic.

And one thing we should drive a stake through is the old idea that the US entered the war against Germany to save Jews.

Nothing could be farther from the truth, the US didn't much care what happened to the Jews, and tried to ignore warnings as the war progressed.
