Crickets Chirping
That is the sound you are hearing about the revelation that of the 4 US contractors who were recently killed in Iraq, 1 of them was burned alive. But OOOOH, how the world goes and gets its collective panties all up in a bunch when American soldiers burn the decaying corpses of 2 ex-terrorists that nobody wanted to claim.
Note to world: we notice this sort of thing. There were stories less than 24 hours after the Pakistan earthquake about how US aid wasn't fast enough in comming. Then it wasn't enough money, or the right kind. The same thing happened after the Dec 25 tsunami last year. Go ahead, keep it up. There is only so much you can call some of the most generous people in the world a bunch of miserly hegemonic imperialistic barbarians bent on force-feeding the world Big Macs before they say "to heck with you". I am not an isolationist, but someday, I fear, the world will find out what it's like to deal with a major disaster without American help. And it's not going to be pretty.
