Just a thought
I caught a clip on the radio on my way into work today which got me a little peeved. It was just one more example of how ridiculously arrogant Americans are, more specifically Bill O'Reilly.
It was a clip from O'Reilly's show, and his guest was Phil Donahue. O'Jackass was complaining about Cindy Sheehan and Donahue came to her defense. Anyway, I won't bore you with the details, but the part that got me going was when O'Shitstain said that Cindy Sheehan was essentially saying that insurgents have the right to kill Americans, and he thought this was absurd.
Regardless of what she said, why shouldn't it be ok for insurgents to kill Americans? It's not ok in our eyes, because we're Americans. But we're killing them. They have a right to fight just the same as we do. I'm not saying that I think any American soldier deserves to be killed. They don't. They're risking their lives, and they're somebody's son or daughter or brother or sister. But, NEWSFLASH, those insurgents and those Iraqis and those Afghanis are somebody's son or daughter or brother or sister. And if anyone has the right to fight and kill, it's them. We're in their country, and they're defending what they believe in, whether we think it's right or not.
I would liken it to the US being invaded, then US citizens banding together to fight the invading armies. It would certainly be justified in our eyes then. So why is it so hard to reverse the situation and realize we're the invaders, and that these "insurgents" are just trying to protect what they believe in?
