WHAT’S IT TO YOU?
Ok. Tubularsock was sitting in his top floor corner office in his underground bunker over looking Washington, D.C. in Oakland, CA. and this thought floated through and with the agility of a stealth bomber I plucked it from the ethos.
What do YOU ……… an American citizen living in America ……. what do you have to do with bombing a Syrian?
Really. What has a Syrian done to YOU lately? What harm has a Syrian caused YOU?
In most cases only a handful of YOU have ever even seen a Syrian let alone talked with one.
So ………. would you blow one up?
I wouldn’t.
And when YOU start to think about it, how about an Iraqi? Or a Pakistani?
Just what have they done to you personally? Anything at all?
An Afghan? Would YOU leave your house today and go blow up an Afghan?
Do you have cause? Have you even met one in your travels?
And yet, we have killed hundreds of thousands of them. Men, women, and children.
But what has EVEN ONE done to you?
SO WHAT GIVES?
Can you actually say that YOU have a beef with a Syrian or an Afghan? How about a Pakistani? How about an Iranian?
SO WHAT GIVES?
YOU don’t have a beef with them, YOU don’t even know one.
So why are we so accepting with bombing them?
Tubularsock is still trying to grok why we “had to” kill so many Vietnamese?
Bombing their homes, killing their water buffalo, Agent Orange-ing their jungle, napalming their families.
FOR WHAT?
I personally have never had a beef with a Vietnamese, EVER!
SO WHAT GIVES?
Syria has never attacked the United States.
Vietnam has never attacked the United States.
Iran has never attacked the United States.
Pakistan has never attacked the United States.
Iraq has never attacked the United States.
Afghanistan has never attacked the United States.
YET ……… THE UNITED STATES HAS ATTACKED EACH OF THEM!
Do you notice some kind of a pattern here?
THINK ABOUT IT ………..
