8. I was thinking about something similar this very morning. I wondered why no one
had ever asked Bush, "Do you know that millions, if not billions, of people around the world consider yourself and the US military the deadliest terrorists in the world?" I'm sure he'd go on about how we're 'fighting evil' and 'freedom is on the march' and how we're 'protecting America', etc.

But is a car bomb more terrifying than one dropped from the sky, full of depleted uranium and stamped 'USA'? Is it more terrifying to be kidnapped by your fellow countrymen, dressed in black and carrying big knives, than to be kidnapped by a group of US Marines in camouflage?

We commit acts of terrorism on a daily basis around the world and yet there is no condemnation of us.
