Yeah yeah yeah... if it weren't for the ass whopping they received, they would have been glorifying the wars that killed so many innocent Iraqis, their attitude changed because their blood was also spilt, otherwise nobody gives a sh1t...
Very well said ... When the Americans (I mean the civilians) faced the USSR and $hitting in their pants of the consequences of their hawkish elements in attempting a war with the other super power, we use to have those peace loving Americans .. going out on the street and doing protests .. fighting with the rioting police, doing concerts of peace & so on ...
Peace lovers like me (anti-war), I was shocked, flabergasted and utterly devastated when USA carpet bombed the Afghans with the largest conventional bombs in their arsenal ... yeah .. not only human beings, animals, plants, atomosphere, whatever ... everything just evaporated.
No real sense of peace was wanted by any one in the world, no peace rally for the Afghan civilians by my US counterparts .. Glitch .. no reaction from the Western anti-war patrons !
Iraq is only now because the Arabs are crying .. otherwise .. who really cared when civilian Afghans were killed even more ruthlessly than we kill mosquitos.
In the end it comes out that when the factor of fear from your opponent is there, than only the peace lovers take out their white doves, so that when their govt. does a retreate they they have a "mask" for their face saving.
