Whether or not the grand jury of Andersen would consider these people citizens is of little consequence. There’s a couple of ways to get anything approaching accountable government and changing people’s minds is probably the least violent. Maybe you’d just like to call them assholes until they bend to your will? Good luck with that.

Chris Crass:
I am of the belief that in a democracy, people are just as guilty as their chosen government. If I contract someone to do a job for me and he kills someone in the process, then I have the lame excuse of saying “I didn’t know.” If I hire him again knowing his methods, then I am just an accomplice and cannot vindicate myself.
The people who do not use their right to vote or vote for a government (twice) that then carries out these murderous acts cannot and should not be considered civilians.

Andersen:
I’ve been opposed to this god-damned war since I predicted it on September 11th, but that’s no reason for me to be a pompous jerk to people who don’t see things the way I do. I suspect that if you actually cared for the war to end, you wouldn’t spew out jokes so stupid they’d make Jon Stewart cringe.
People who adopt the thinking that anybody who disagrees with them is a moron are misanthropic narcisistic cynics. A good example of people like this would be the people who own this country and the people who started this greed-based war (Two fairly incestuous gangs).
Do you oppose the war because you genuinely oppose it or do you just want to pad your ego by posturing as such so you can look down your nose at all those “watching the war with dazed eyes?”
If there’s any hope for the future, it is in those whom you scorn. People like you alienate people you disagree with, thereby encouraging reactionary thought (Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran) while simultaneously undermining radical/progressive movements. It’s hard to change someone’s mind when you openly hate them.
Unless you have money.

During the bombing of Iraq at the start of the war, all one heard in the news was how precise and smart were the bombs falling on Iraq and how little co-lateral damage these bombs caused. So I’m just wondering who destroyed the hospitals, the schools, the power plants, the water refineries of Iraq. I think the reason they called the bombs “smart” was because they compared them to the average intelligence of the western audience who is still watching the war with dazed eyes.
