Suddenly everyone I know is patriotic and glorifying the mass slaughter that occured over the past decade. It's sad really, when you figure it was all for nothing.

God, I love you guys. The gushing pride and blood lust on facebook and news sites is horrible. You guys are a breathe of fresh air. OK, so what are the bets that this has little (read: no) effect on troop withdrawal?

In Norway my coworkers are expecting me to rub one out over this. They look so bummed when I just shrug.

Yup.

At a "sheep site" I post at one guy was cheering how "shit like this brings us together as Americans . . . " Yeah, right. Meantime, countless freedoms have been lost but nobody cares.

Haha, didn't any of these people ever read 1984?

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?290292-Please-Don-t-Politicize-This-Moment.

"Look at your televisions. Look at what's going on right now. There are crowds gathered in Washington and New York, celebrating at three in the morning. I've seen some people holding Bush/Cheney signs, some people holding Obama signs, and some people holding signs for other causes entirely. But I've seen a lot more American flags."

This is the kind of situation that used to induce me to beat my chest, and the tears would well up in my eyes, and I'd sing whatever patriotic song that came to mind.

But now, I'm like, "meh".  I'm annoyed at people who are celebrating, if they're celebrating, as if we won a major war or something.  Someone somewhere wrote that this is our generation's "V-E" day.  If that's so, I feel cheated, because what this is, is the most powerful nation on earth (militarily) taking 10 years to track down and kill one guy.  One. Frickin'. Guy.

It's embarrassing, so embarrassing, that anyone would express anything other than mild interest in this.

I used to think that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were necessary to prevent another 9/11 style terrorist attack.  "Take the war to them; fight it there instead of here".  Right.  I figured out that I had not learned the true lesson of 9/11.  That attack did not succeed because bad men smuggled weapons onto planes.  It didn't happen because of a failure of government security measures.  9/11 happened becaus Americans had been conditioned to not fight back.  If terrorists smuggled utility knives onto planes today, they wouldn't get away with taking over the plane.  People would fight back, because they would understand that something more important than their own lives could be at stake.  And they would win.  The lesson of 9/11 is to not trust nameless, faceless bureaucrats to care more about your safety than yourself.

The wars are unnecessary beceause the Islamic states, as they are currently run, are socialist in philosophy.  They will never be able to truly fight us, unless we drop the ball and try to be like the rest of the world (more than we already are, that is), with an oppressive authoritarian government that we hope will take care of us.

These are the best quotes I've read about this thing all day. I really don't see how people think this is going to change anything. A lot of the mentality in the Middle East, from what I understand, is that the U.S. is out to get them and this war in the Middle East is proving them right. Just like the war on drugs ensuring there are more drugs then ever before, the war on terror has basically done the same.
