Quote of the day

Someone on a mailing list I'm on wrote this nice little summary of how a lot of people are feeling at the moment:

Now we see a pyrotechnic display on TV that is the war as we are allowed to witness it. But THAT is not the war. The real war we never get to see. We don't get to see magled bodies, we don't get to smell rotting, burned flesh, we don't see the pain of the families of killed Iraqi soldiers. No, the in our war the people that get killed all somehow deserve it, as we are good and therfore they must be evil.

The whole thing makes me fucking sick.
