Colonial wars -- waged against peoples of entirely different cultural backgrounds -- have ALWAYS been market by savage brutality, massacres, and torture. Iraq -- for all its horrors -- still has not reached the truly incredible levels of brutality and slaughter seen during the Vietnam War under both Democrat Johnson and Republican Nixon.
“The things that will destroy us are: politics without principle; pleasure without conscience; wealth without work; knowledge without character; business without morality; science without humanity; and worship without sacrifice.” Mahatma Gandhi
