""Whatever else one wants to say, the US is a country that, for
more than a decade, has loudly and continuously declared itself to be a "nation
at war". It's not "at war" in any one county, but in many countries around the
globe. In the last four years alone, it has used drones to end people's lives in
six predominantly Muslim country (probably more). Under its Nobel Peace
Prize-winning leader, it has repeatedly wiped out entire families (including
just this week), slaughtered dozens of children at a time, targeted and killed
people rescuing and grieving its victims, and either deliberately or recklessly
dropped bombs on teenagers (including its own citizens), then justified it with
the most foul and morally deranged rationale."" (thanks Amir)
