War is Peace

According to the outgoing Emperor, invading and occupying a country that never attacked or threatened the United States; killing and maiming its citizens; unleashing an orgy of nihilistic violence by extremists from within and without that country; and bankrupting our own country in the process, was an act of peace and benevolence.

I'm glad he cleared that one up for me.

It's Not Terrorism When We Do It

From today's Los Angeles Times:

Moreover, the suspected plan to use consecutive car-bomb explosions last week in London, targeting police and rescue personnel as they arrive at the scene of the first explosion, evokes the tactics of insurgents in Iraq.


Or perhaps it evokes the tactics of the governments of Great Britain and the United States in the WWII firebombing of Dresden, in which the second wave of bombers (RAF) and the third wave (USAAF) timed their attacks to catch rescue workers in the open.
