I don’t remember writing this, but I’m sure I must have. Then again, maybe not. It’s much kinder than anything I might have said.
Anyone with half a brain should be boiling with contempt, anger and distrust for the American government and its foreign acolytes of ruthless business-people. And that’s just on account of Russian activities of late. Never mind the china virus scam.
And for all the good folk who are upset with Mr. Putin; who clamor daily to send our teenagers to Ukraine to die for nothing; who stupidly believe that the U.S. is the center of the Universe; and who believe all countries can be prosperous all the time, and whose citizens should be free to go to the manicurist once a week to talk with their friends about the stock market, I say: There is something dreadfully wrong with your mind.
To them I say, try using that mind for a change. Maybe you could read a book; or maybe you could try thinking. Now there’s an idea.
Mr. Clemens is quite right to remind his readers about American atrocities. The ignorant among us are of course clueless. Anyone who believes the My Lai (pronounced ME-LIE) massacre was a one-off aberration is a dumbbell. And let’s not forget that the procedure affectionately known as scalping was introduced to the Stone Age inhabitants of this continent by sophisticated white Europeans. (Were the Plains Indians better off without the wheel? We can only wonder.)
Will U.S. citizens never snap to the fact that Ukraine’s Zelensky is no less a brutal thug than Russia’s Putin? Maybe after a few thousand flag-draped coffins arrive back in the states will they begin to understand how perfidious our political leaders are. And where were all the starry-eyed idealist supporters of “righteous” war when the Rwanda genocide was all the rage? Did a million or two corpses, all chopped to pieces with machetes not upset them? There must not be any oil in Rwanda.
And why are all the talking heads so hysterical about the prospect of nuclear war? An atom bomb is just a bomb. The razing of Dresden and Tokyo was not done with an atom bomb. Berlin was flattened, but not by atom bombs. Big deal, atom bombs. Nagasaki and Hiroshima today show no signs at all that they were leveled in 1945. I am much more afraid of Google than I am an atom bomb. And I am much more afraid of the think-tank neo-cons than I am of Google.
I doubt that many people are seriously concerned about a nuclear war (at least until Biden arranges for Iran to get one). In defense of our European forefathers, the earliest evidence I've seen of people scalping one another was in a book called THE TEMPLARS. Muslims regularly scalped Crusaders and showed off their scalps on their lances.
