Posted on smith2004: "I am responsible for what I do and for what I contract with other people to do. Period. I have no control whatsoever over what my government does, hence I am not responsible for it. It's this kind of statist mentality, equating people to the government that claims control over the geographical area in which they live, that is responsible for the mass murder that we call war. If somebody attacks you, your family, or your friends, you have the right to defend yourself and them. Attacking the attackers' families or other people who happen to live in the same country that they do is murder. Period. Bombing cities, thereby killing innocents, is a crime against humanity. There is no justification for it. Ever." -- Bill St. Clair [End the War on Freedom] 10:11:16 AM    comment () U.S.: Berg Had Been Advised to Leave Iraq [AP World News] I'm still wondering why he was there in the first place. The media has been pretty clear that he wasn't a mercenary or a government employee, so it looks like he really was an innocent victim, but I haven't really seen any explanation of why he was in Iraq. 10:10:13 AM    comment ()
