(649 posts)I though how in videos of US bombings, military/contractor murderings and drone terrorism strikes, the attacked people do the exact same thing, only in their language and cultural frame. It is somehow portrayed in our corporate media as something, "scary" and "radical extremist/terrorist" to say. It is not! It is just the same as the cries Americans make of "oh jesus" and "oh god",we do this on instinct with out thinking at all. I guess this is part of the programming of the evil other, that is needed in the creation of fictional enemies for the war machine.

My own response would have been "HOLY SHIT! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?"

On 2 January 2013, the United Nations released an estimate that the war's death toll had exceeded 60,000;[79] on 12 February, this figure was updated to 70,000.[54] According to various opposition activist groups, between 68,440 and 82,130 people have been killed,[35][36][80] of which about half were civilians, but also including 33,500 armed combatants consisting of both the Syrian Army and rebel forces,[35][36][81] up to 1,000 opposition protesters[51] and 1,000 government officials.[37] By October 2012, up to 28,000 people had been reported missing, including civilians forcibly abducted by government troops or security forces.[82] According to the UN, about 1.2 million Syrians have been displaced within the country.[83] To escape the violence, as many as 1.4 million Syrian refugees have fled to neighboring countries. In addition, tens of thousands of protesters have been imprisoned and there were reports of widespread torture and psychological terror in state prisons.[84] International organizations have accused both government and opposition forces of severe human rights violations.[85] However, human rights groups report that the majority of abuses have been committed by the Syrian government's forces, and UN investigations have concluded that the government's abuses are the greatest in both gravity and scale.[86][8
