Holy crap Metal Slug, scale that shizzle down.
Probably be just listening to, and taping, the debate on NPR, seeing that the TV may not be working and I just don't watch much TV.
Yeah, I know.
I thought about it, but if I leave it that size, people actually have to make an effort to read and digest it, which I thought would have more of a chance of getting the point over than a quick glance at the whole thing?
I was going to use one of the iRaq ones, but I think that US folks are pretty much like UK folks, and only things that make them think 'whoa, could this affect me?' are likely to make them care even a little bit.
I don't think our respective populations are bad people, just a bit 'insulated'.
The more the world sees US forces blowing up civilians (like the Apache rocket attack on the disabled Bradley with the kids on it/people all around it/film crew reporting it etc, last week) the more the rest of the world is likely to not want to help protect us from terrorism in general (and as we are seeing in Iraq, all the terrorists need is for the rest of the civilian population to turn a 'blind eye' to their presence). Aside from the fact that we just shouldn't kill civilians at all costs!
Its also time we realised that you can't use heavy weapons to 'precisely' attack houses in built-up areas without murdering innocent people who are the reason you are there in the first place.
