One Response to “Afghanistan Casualty Question”
The question begs the obvious answer: They’re hypocrites who practice ‘selective outrage’ when Republicans do these things. When a democrat engages in wars without legal sanction or causus belli, when they sanction torture, assassination, domestic spying, etc., the ex-flower children (and their spiritual progeny) deafen us with the sound of their silence.
