  2. More young American lives wasted. Chewed up and spit out by the Imperial meat grinder. The real problem with all this war monger madness is the American Sheeple. They support or tolerate it like feckless simpletons. The problem with America is it's full of gullible, ignorant, irrational people. Mencken was right, no one ever lost money underestimating the intelligence (or bloodthirstyness) of the American people.

  3. "...polls indicate the public largely does not care, though some support the nuclear option, and others believe more troops might subdue the native population."
