Are War, war crimes and atrocity inseperable

[Abcdxxxx]

"Gay" as a negative. Classy.

Look people, there's been one (maybe two at most) threads made on Darfur, and Kevin was the one who made it. I understand that the disproportionate amount of media exposure towards a full on war has it's place in a discussion forum, but get some new angles or something. If you really do care about civilian casualties and the dehumanization of of innocent people, there are MORE topics out there to be outraged about, and they are FAR less grey.

It's impossible to pretend you fuckers give a shit about Iraqi lives when you're rarely impressed by the death toll numbers under Saddam. We at least know Saddam was TRYING to deliberately kill innocents....where in the case of our soldiers, it's a grey area. Unless you're a psychopath who believes our purpose there is to kill, because at it's most basic, war is about killing. I don't think any of you truly care about Iraqis, or you would take into account what this war means for the 900,000 Iraqi exiles of all religions who lost everything under Baathist rule. Is there brutality going ignored by our media? Yup, but it's from all sides, and if you believe that 2500 years of fueding has it's roots in an American invasion from 3 years ago...well, then it sounds like you're reading, and believing whatever fits into a simple ideology that you can understand, or that plays to an agenda you support. But like I said before...don't pretend that makes you a humanitarian, or that you give a shit about Iraqi lives, because you're not fooling anyone.
