I Think I'll Question Their Patriotism Now
This is way out there, even for a Kos diarist:
Unfortunately, America is at a point that to be able to really feel again, to regain that compassion, it needs to be invaded and occupied in the same way that we have invaded and occupied Iraq. Then there might be a greater chance that Americans will be more reluctant to accept the invasion of another country. Maybe seeing and feeling the same level of destruction that we have inflicted on Iraq, at least the American public will understand why invading another country is unconscionable except in the most dire circumstances - which means after that country has directly attacked the United States. And that has not happened since World War II.
This is absurd on so many levels I don't even know where to begin. Except to say that believing your home country needs to be invaded and occupied by a hostile force isn't the height of patriotic rhetoric.

Update: Bad news for the "salvages" of the world.
Update, Too: Here, salvage, go shopping. It'll make you feel better. I know it makes my wife feel better when she's feeling down.
