12. Ahhh... the absurdity of EGO at work.
We don't care about the people who died and the destruction we have caused by waging this war. We don't care about the dishonorable foreign policy we have been pursuing for years which affected millions worldwide. We don't care about HUMANITY.

We care about looking "strong and honorable" in the eyes of the world. People who would care about such a thing are insane. Look at the destruction we have wrought, we have NO RIGHT to demand an "honorable" with-drawl, even though it's not even possible in our current situation. Sickening.
