Clint...
I don't post very often to other's LJ, but you brought something out into the light. You were angry at what had been done to an innocent person. *I* was every bit as angry as you, maybe more so. What is so upsetting is that the average American doesn't see the "realities" of what we do as foreign policy. He was an American who was "collateral Damage". His death was no different than if a bomb had blown him to pieces. War, any war is horrific. No war of aggression is ever justified...really. We are there, as we were in Kuwait, because of petroleum...maybe, just maybe Americans will wake up before its too late. As Oil reserves diminish, such wars will become more and more common. Sad, isn't it?

And thank YOU for letting me vent!

KILL THEM ALL!!!

My greatest concern is for the orphaned children and the enraged parents that have lost children due to this "collateral damage" that the military speaks so fondly of. Just as Clint has feelings of rage, these family members must feel very similar feelings. On top of that, add the cultural acceptance of dying in combat for Allah. In Bush's quest to oust Saddam, has he not just created a new World War for our children to have to fight?

The cycle of killing must stop somewhere. An eye for an eye will continue on and on until someone stops the cycle.

The feelings are natural. Acting on them isn't good. But the feelings are natural. It's hard stuff.

You should not be afraid to vent!

I shared your feelings, it is a terrible thing.

As others have commented, it's when your feelings manifest into violence.

Don't apologize ;-) HUGS :)

To be honest I didn't like what you wrote but this is diary. Also, it is courageous of you to post this.
