War is war. 1 million people ISN'T that much if you think about it. Do you know how many people fucking die in 1 day? tons, shitloads. Thousands of people are dying in Africa, and the deathtoll there is climbing quickly aswell, but nobody fucking cares about it enough to put it on the news. People in this country feel 0 emotional attatchment to any of these fucking terrorists/iraqis unless they know them personally. Do I feel bad that they died? sure I do, but I know DAMN well if I lived in Iraq id be out by the time the US soldiers were in. In world war II, Russia lost 20million people, the jews that died are estimated around 6 million. When you think of WWII, do you think about how many Russians died? fuck no, you think about the holocaust and the jews because we've seen pictures/movies about that shit, and we understand maybe a little bit. In reality, the aveage person in a civilized and peaceful (civilly peaceful) country doesn't even think about people dying anywhere. We look at the papers, we see oil prices and eventually the hometown hero that died in battle fighting for this glorious war. Shut the fuck up about American mindsets, just because you've experienced it d oesn't make your opinion better than anybody elses because so many people die a day, it doesnt fucking matter who died when. My grandma died 3 years ago, my uncle/aunt/niece died 6 years ago in a car accident, my grandpa died when before I was even born, It doesn't matter. I'd rather know they died fighting for a cause to rid the war of terrorism than because they smoked too much and ate too many cheeseburgers.
