blessed america .....

blessed america .....

"Sure, I, I always seemed to have faith in the government and honestly, I didn't really care (laugh).  Umm, I had other things going on - ya know, getting married, having children - it just, it wasn't a priority in my life, and, ya know I really didn't start even watching the news at all I think until maybe 1991.

I guess it was, when, umm, we first went to the Gulf War - I remember watching CNN with my dad and watching the infra-red missiles going across that you could see, umm, and, I think it, to me, I mean maybe I'm just not that smart, but you know, it seems like we've kind of been at war for, since then, I mean - or maybe even before, I don't know - it just always seem like we're having some kind of conflict so, that, you know, whether, about wars - umm, I don't know, that just seems common place now...  Umm, I think everybody's just so used to it."

What an atrociously callous and ignorant statement that surely could only come from an American. Ten years of genocidal crusader conquest for corporate profit, leaving untold millions dead, dying, and diseased, and this woman has the temerity to say "everyone is just used to it."  If white phosphorous and depleted uranium weapons were raining down on her family and her healthcare needs included raising a child without any eyes, or scull, or arms, or legs as a result of the poisoned environment, I suspect she might be a little less flippant and a little less "used to it." 

What this country did in the last ten years, the whole world is going to have to deal with for the next hundred, and people like this are unaware anything has happened at all.  This pathetic culture and its inability and unwillingness to recognize the continuous crimes committed against the lands and peoples of the world, is why people like this woman can tra-la-la through life without a clue of the horrendous damage her ignorance allows.
