Give Thanks You Weren't Bombed and Murdered by Americans Because You ARE Americans

[Melinda]

20. It's hard to be thankful for anything while innocents are being killed in MY name...

with MY tax dollars being spent to prop up the Industrial Military Complex so that they can continue to overthrow democratically elected governments, or support right wing terrorism in this hemisphere (or any other). Innocents are being bombed nearly every day with weapons paid for by US, all in the name of "freedom" *cough* *cough*.

Sure, I am grateful not to be a woman living in the middle east, and I don't need worry that a suicide bomber will take my family and friends out... but every time a parent loses a child to deadly aggression WE support 11 month old Omar Misharaw, I die a little more inside.

As the OP points out, the largest part of the suffering listed is the direct result of American policies, American NATIONAL interests. American's should be thankful we are not victims such as those listed here? Americans are criminally culpable for the suffering listed in this OP. And more and more innocents die each and every day because of US. And every time I hear of another innocent death, I die a bit more inside. I am not thankful, I am ashamed, I am mortified.

*On edit, yes, I am aware the OP is a piece of satire.
