Ted Rall for May 09, 2012

History is written by the written by the winners – so to speak.

Indeed, history is nothing more than a tableau of crimes and misfortunes. – Voltaire

So what is Ted’s solution? Turn the other cheek or wait for DNA evidence?

Jet airliners are incredibly fragile. When one hits the ground head-on, you end up with a pile of fragments in a small crater. Look up ValueJet flight 592.The twin towers fell the way they did because of the way that they were built. The Empire State Building would not fall that way if hit by an airliner. The Sears Tower wouldn’t fall that way, etc.The political system afterwards… you have a point, but you’re still too over the top about it.

Foreign conquerors never give due process until after occupation, sometimes.

A few hundred thousand “wrongs” don’t make a “right”. Sorry, but the “equivalency” of the victims in the WTC, and a little girl, 8 years old, in her kitchen outside Baghdad, with the back of her head blown off, is where it lies. “Man’s inhumanity to Man”, is actually men with small gonads taking it out on women and children, and taking their “rationale” from a rather insanity promoting book that gives MEN all the power.

People worship violence. The rest is only to be expected.

Maybe if we make enough wrongs, we’ll eventually get it right?

War is not good for children, or other living things. (But for some, it is highly profitable.)

There are only two rules to war. 1) End it quickly. 2) Win.“Nice” isn’t in there. Would you have had Truman hold off on the A-bomb because civilians would be killed?

I love how Ted makes everyone get their freak on. Obviously, self-reflection is not an American virtue, if it ever was.

Comparing a B-25 to a 757, fuel loads, size, weight, etc, isn’t viable. Comparing the capacity for blind ignorant hate of one human culture for another, is far more viable, but prejudice prevents true analysis of motive, or actions.

The same way you win any war.You have to kill them like mosquitos…faster than they can multiply.

We need a war on war!
