<<America’s Narcissists indifferent to Iraqi casualties>> Amr writes six words that nails to wall the underlying reason for many that are indeed indifferent to the carnage in Iraq, a carnage brought about by an arrogant holier than thou nation the loves but to contemplate what it perceives as its beauty.
It was no different during Nam, the dead Vietnamese were GOOKs, the dead american soldiers became a Wall for the nation to weep for its dead 58,000.
As for the dead beyond two million asians, so what, they were not americans, right, so forget about it. Napalm, CarpetBombing, Cluster Bombs, Special Forces assassination squads(Such as Operation Phoenix), no probelm, we are americans, we are good.
i ask how many americans said they thought Lt.Calley should have gotten a medal for My Lai? For those too young to know or those old enough but with selective memory, the answer is a SHOCKING HUGE amount of americans thought Calley was a hero-- o yes we are indeed a good people.
The Nam war and the present horror show reveal again Americans are in the many racists, not necessarily by color, as it seems all that need be to bring out the racist in too many americans, is "They are NOT us. They are NOT american." Max
