I don't have a proper diary tonight. I just have this rant. I apologize for the foul language.
Miraj at Baghdad Chronicles wrote a post a few days ago lamenting the frustration the Iraqis feel in George W Bush's Iraq. Her posts are often raw but always genuine. They chronicle the frustration that ordinary Iraqis feel day in and day out. In response to her post, an American commenter wrote the following:
Bush does have the support of the majority of Americans and so do you. Iraq has been given a great gift. Far greater than you seem to realize in your focus on short-term "facts" which are really distortions. Someday, you or your children will have the opportunity of a far better life than you had under Sadaam. Even if you don't deserve it.
I am so glad that we Americans are giving the Iraqis this "gift" even though they "don't deserve it." Apparently freedom is the Almighty's gift to mankind. Therefore the deaths of tens of thousands of Iraqis are sending them to the Almighty so that they can receive their "gifts". How fucking arrogant. How fucking ridiculous.
I am now going to go and vomit.
