"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
A Culture of Atrocity
Submitted by Jeremy H. on Wed, 2007-06-20 15:00
"The rage that soldiers feel after a roadside bomb explodes, killing or maiming their comrades, is one that is easily directed over time to innocent civilians who are seen as supporting the insurgents. It is a short psychological leap, but a massive moral one. It is a leap from killing'the shooting of someone who has the capacity to do you harm'to murder'the deadly assault against someone who cannot harm you. The war in Iraq is now primarily about murder."
