I often have to laugh when I hear people comment on one country or another in the Middle East a being a "terrorist nation." LOL We are the biggest terrorist nation on the planet by orders of magnitude.

If any other country had done what we did in Iraq and then bungled it so spectacularly and with such a continuing, unashamed display of greed and entitlement that the world has never rarely seldom occasionally quite often, actually, (dammit!) seen--all these so-called American patriots would have been horrified and screaming for their demise.

Yet when we act like terrorists, it's: oh, well we are going in there to "help" or to save the world from "those terrible dictators."

The self-deception boggles the mind. Truly. But then again, most of them voted for Bush and that has got to be the pinnacle of self-deception. I suppose that the Romans and the Nazis and other citizens of hundreds of countries who support(ed) terrorism against the less powerful were equally self-deceptive.
