Malala's interview at the Daily Show was truly humbling.

Life is so not fair.

It is rather resembling an even more indiscriminate hi-tech version of the British government's "Shoot-to-kill" policy against the IRA in the '70's and '80's.

Somewhere in my heart I feel that America ought to have learned from the mistakes of other countries. Oh well.

[anfalicious]

If Americans could learn from others it would imply that they aren't a superior race and God's chosen people.

There's a dude I used to talk a lot who claims he is in the Navy in intelligence, and when you show him this kind of stuff, he always handwaves it and talks about how hard it is to get approval for these strikes, and how careful they are, and how extremely rare these things are. Total disconnect.

[dexeron]

Sure, but that's all relative. If what's being approved is still causing a disproportionate number of random farming grandmothers to get blown up, then responding by insisting that it's "hard" to get approval is a non-sequitur at best.

It's ironic that the flag that's being burned was probably made in China.

[mahnmut]

True, dat. And the joke is definitely not on China.

[404]

Well they are laughing all the way to the bank

[mahnmut]

And then back to the clothes store.
