You're right.  Kids die every day.  Who cares if it's malaria, or a hellfire missile ordered by President Obama in his Tuesday Terror Meetings.  It's all the same.

We're all going to die.  Don't even know why murder is a crime?  The outcome is inevitable.

And again, as always, it goes to perspective - the RWRE is concentrating on 400 - very specifically using it as a political point making tool - while 21,000 a day are going through the same end result, while we ignore completely.  Very disingenuous.  Intellectually dishonest.  Actually quite despicable.  And of course, been doing it for decades.  (And to be fair, both sides indulge from time to time...the RWRE is just more 'successful' at it - giving even more credence to that study we have talked about here showing lower intellectual capacity gravitates to the RWRE.)

But the 21,000 aren't in a place where specious non-event attacks can be made at the top of shrill, harpie voices, and get people who are weak minded enough to listen.  Much like the whole Benghazi embassy thing... proper perspective - reality based stuff that didn't have ONLY a political agenda - would ask the same questions about 4 killed there, but then expand the topic to include the 31 killed in similar circumstances during the Bush administration.  Plus the embassy people killed over previous decades, with either party in office.  Where was the security when the 31 were killed?  Why weren't the embassies fortified during that time?

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Yes, and with that Nobel peace prize in your hip pocket, you are then free to kill innocent civilians with drone strikes with complete impunity! Brilliant!


Like Bush killed 900,000 in Iraq in about 2 years during the search for Saddam Hussein....protecting the population there from a guy who had killed about 200,000 over 25 years....  Perspective.  Again.

Better not criticize Obama's Syrian policy.

Too late.  Hillary is already on it.
“The failure to help build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad — there were Islamists, there were secularists, there was everything in the middle — that failure left a big vacuum, which the jihadists have now filled,” Clinton said

I think this should also go in the "democrats divided" thread.

You are a desperate man.

I hope someday you find some glimmer of division within the democratic party. It will make your life's work meaningful.

It's because of a profound lack of understanding of the middle-east in western society, and US in particular.  She is no more enlightened - she just has the benefit of hind sight.  Which is always perfect.

Nothing new - goes back over 1,000 years.
