Democracy Hypocrisy, Part 19

“IRAQ: A MESS, BUT SO WHAT?”

“November 12, 2006 -- 'MANY Americans," President Bush said Wednesday, voted "to register their displeasure with the lack of progress" in Iraq. So did he - by dumping Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. But what exactly are people upset about? Is the situation in Iraq really so grim?” - Adam Brodsky

The answer to his question would be an unqualified YES.

“But where's the evidence that Americans are worse off, in any tangible way, because of Iraq? Yes, families suffer enormously when a relative is killed or injured there. That's tragic. But the 3,000 U.S. military deaths over the past 31/2 years amounts to less than three ten-thousandths of a percent of the U.S. population per year. That many Americans die from drunk driving every 20 days.” - Adam Brodsky

Well, by using THAT standard, then the deaths that happened on 9/11 from the terrorists’ attacks are even less significant than the US military deaths in Iraq. They are totally insignificant, I guess, unless you are using them for some political end….. then they become significant again. This is extraordinary hypocrisy about the deaths of Americans and everyone else who died in Iraq since March 2003.

He goes on:

“The fact is, any serious effort to confront terror will be costly.” - Adam Brodsky

But since he feels the deaths of 3,000 Americans are insignificant, why should we be bothered to confront it?

“The loss of Iraqi life? Well, sure, that's tragic, too. But if "sectarian violence" means anti-American Shiites killing anti-American Sunnis, and vice versa, how much sleep should Americans lose over Bush's "failure" to stop it? That may sound cold, but the killers are free to end their violence whenever they like.” - Adam Brodsky

And this reflects his total lack of concern for what is happening to the Iraqi people. No surprises there. Adam Brodsky is an EVIL SHIT. And, unfortunately, he is an American.
