At extended-family Sunday dinner this evening my family had Fox news on, as they often do. I heard one of the "news reporters" (I can't call her a journalist) state something to the effect of, "this just in, France bombs ISIS savages in Syria".

ISIS savages?! Is this what a "news" channel reports? My brother scoffed, and said that he finds international news coverage outside of the US to be a lot more real and a lot less biased. These tools on Fox News are pretending to be journalists, but the real question is: why does anybody take them seriously?

Are we savages for killing over a million Iraqis illegally, directly, with UN-based figures reporting our sanctions were the direct cause (never mind that we used depleted uranium bombs and intentionally targeted water treatment plants and other infrastructure)?

Are we savages for funding Osama Bin Laden when he was fighting the Russians?

Are we (and Britain) savages for overthrowing the democratically elected leader of Iran, Mossadegh, in the 50s?

Are we savages for supporting ONLY THEOCRACIES/APARTHEID NATIONS (Saudi Arabia, Israel) in the middle east and bombing ONLY SECULAR NATIONS (Iraq, Syria, Libya) in the region?

Are we savages for supplying Iraq and Saddam with Chemical weapons, then turning a blind eye when he gassed the Kurds and the Iranians? Are we savages for telling the Kurds to rebel against the central government after (illegal) Gulf War I, and then completely abandoning them?

Are we savages for sending in our ambassador, April Catherine Glaspie to Iraq to tell the Iraqis that we will not get involved if they invaded Kuwait?

Are we savages for bombing, destroying, and overthrowing dozens (yes, dozens) of democratically (but, unfortunately for them, left-leaning) governments and nations in central and south America in the past many decades, yet also funding, training, and arming right-wing fascist murderers at the infamous "School of the Americas" who wreaked such havoc in Central and South America for the past several decades?

I wish I could meet that bullshit newscaster and debate with her, or the other morons over at Fox News, who use their Orwellian doublespeak daily to continue to brainwash the (unfortunately uneducated) American public. They disgust me so much.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
