Here's your 2008 numbers
* 314 U.S. soldiers died in Iraq;
* 509 people were murdered in Chicago.
Where are the anti murder activists in Chicago with their picket signs? I think we have a bigger problem here. Do you know that murder in the US, per capita, was only 6 spots lower than Zimbabwe? That's pathetic. And We're civilized and advanced? In overall murders, we're 5th in the world. Nice. Hey, anti-war activists, maybe you should focus your attention a little closer to
home. Funny thing is we're all worried about street protesters getting gunned down in Iran, human rights in North Korea.. etc, while we're butchering each other in our own streets without even a sideways glance. Do we see the rest of the world all up in our business? Are they here toppling the state government of Chicago in order to bring order? Did the rest of the world step
in and issue stern congressional rebukes while we were sorting out allegations of election fraud during Bush/Gore? Nope. We're so worried about everyone else's problems that we're imploding. What happens when we're no longer capable of keeping the rest of the world from ripping each other to shreds? All of this policing of the world has brought nothing but delay to
the inevitable and collapse to our shores. It's happened before...it'll happen again. It's the "repeat of history" that everyone seems to quote yet are seemingly incapable of heeding. There's nothing the US or any other empire in history has been able to do about it.
I have a gargantuan noggin.
