Letter to the Editor:

Only in the United States of America:

You can be pro war. You can be pro-nuclear weapons. You can be pro drone bomber. You can be pro land mines. You can be pro torture. You can be pro guns. You can be pro-death penalty. You can be anti-abortion. And still call yourself "pro-life." Can you define hypocrisy?

Since the end of WWII the USA has bombed over 54 countries. During the Gulf Wars almost forty percent of the "Smart Bombs" malfunctioned and became "Dumb Bombs", missing some targets by miles. When we kill women and children we don’t call it murder, it is called "Collateral Damage." It sounds a lot nicer doesn’t it? And then we wonder why do they not like us?
