Crimson > I recall one officer was quoted after a particularly brutal massacre (I think it was the infamous 1864 Sand Creek slaughter in Colorado) as arguing that his men had killed Indian babies and children because "nits make lice" I suppose to understand these people one has to get one's priorities right about what really matters. tpmcafe.com >>This is a country where millions of people can hardly stop weeping, wailing and gnashing their teeth about Michael Vick and those poor animals he tortured and killed. How many dogs did Vick kill anyway. 25, 50, a hundred. I don't know. But 3739 Americans have been killed in Iraq and maybe 600,000 Iraqis -- not to mention the US destruction of a whole country and society. And all without the outrage produced by Michael Vick. Maybe we need a new approach to galvanizing opposition to the war. How about stressing all the dogs and cats killed in Iraq by this war. And what about the dogs and cats here at home whose masters will never come home? I'll tell you. If we were sending dogs over to fight this war, and they were dying and being maimed like our soldiers, this war would have ended before it started. We need a new antiwar slogan. How about. "The Iraq War Has Led to More Canine Suffering in One Hour Than Michael Vick Has Produced in His Whole Life." Or, "End The War. For Fluffy's Sake." Or, "Iraqi Dogs Are Neither Sunni Nor Shiite. Why Should They Suffer?"<<
