| 56. But the United States is exceptionally exceptional, you see |

Sure, namby-pambies like Gandhi and Dr. King can whine all they want about the inability of violence to overcome violence, but they never reckoned on the awesome awesomeness of the United States. We will overcome violence with violence, and it will be successful. Any violence visited on us will not be the righteous retribution that the United States deals in (exclusively, it goes without saying), but because everyone else is a murderous thug, or hates us for our freedom, or some other attractive-sounding idea.
And fear not: If you or someone you know or someone you love is killed by the aforementioned murderous thugs, the awesome United States will exact 10, 100, 1,000 deaths of others in holy righteousness. Those corpses will be in honor of your memory! Doesn't that make you feel special, to know that so much death is exacted in your name?

I think it's like any weapon. It's not that they are used. It's HOW they are used. |

My biggest problem with the drones is that innocent people have in fact, been killed. |
