Can you even in your worst nightmare even comprehend the human carnage that investigators are trying to figure out? I bet you cannot, because you are so far away.
The likely drone pilot who ultimately pressed the fire button was a person in a small container like office, in Nevada, so far away.
The smell of cordite and death cannot be inhaled by the drone pilot because he or she is so far away.
President Obama will most likely give the standard line like "our hearts and prayers" are with the victims families, but he cannot hear them wail and cry, he is so far away.
We as a people cannot understand why Abdelah Haider Shaye is still rotting in a prison in Yemen. Most people do not know that he is there because Obama called Yemen, and ordered him to be thrown in prison for reporting on our drone strike that wiped out a village of innocents in a land, so far away.
And that folks, is the crux of the problem. We cannot understand how our actions are being viewed, how our actions are destroying families, how our killing of innocent women and children is changing the landscape in a country, so far away.
I am appalled. I am angry. I am sick of death and destruction all in the name of "security." This is the biggest lie to be held out in front of us by the mainstream media in quite a while. There will be a day, when those in power are held accountable for their despicable actions. Whether by judges, or by God himself, they will answer for their war crimes committed in a land, so far away.
