To: Lazarus Long
If the internet has any effect at all on this mindset, it's a negative one. But once (or if) we get into a real firefight where many more thousands of Americans civilians lose their lives, all bets are off.

Its only disgusting when it is thrust upon us. When brutality can be graphically dipicted to the unwitting, the response is predictable...they recoil from it...it is the same mindset that argued against showing falling bodies from the WTC's. The propogandist knows this. They know we have an aversion to reality based violence.

What is even more striking is the seeming insatiable lust for theatrical violence when contrasted with the unwillingness to accept real violence. It would almost indicate a culture that prefers fantasy over reality...

When the reality based violence is perpatrated over and over again against our own, perhaps a critical mass will be achieved, and we as Americans will accept that we must perpatrate violence to prevent violence. Until then the propogandist left will continue to demonize American and Israel, performing ostensibly an apologist duty for those whose goal is violence...The irony is appalling.
