[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do the people freaking out know anything about the battle of Iwo Jima? It was brutal and deadly for the Japanese--almost 20K lives lost and later, too many American lives lost trying to keep it.

In the end, the island was basically never used and had no utility during the war. It was used for emergency landings only.

So yeah... a lot of lives lost brutally for a completely useless arena.[/quote]

You’re trying to cover for Omeish.  She’s not weighing in on whether, in hindsight, the battle was strategically unnecessary and led to unnecessary deaths. She’s commenting on it in a way that clearly is intended to cast the US as a distinct purveyor of “human evil.”

Coming from a woman whose family’s mosque hosted 3 of the 11 hijackers from 9/11, I do not need this spoiled woman-child giving us public lectures about what constitutes a “record *** for human evil.”  If the Democrats refuse to de-platform her, the voters should. [/quote]

To be sure, the USA is pretty effing evil. We haven’t exactly done a lot of good in the world. Our origin story is is steeped in genocide and human trafficking, we fought a war over the right to keep that slavery, we are the only nation in the world to use nuclear weapons and used them twice … against civilian population centers. We have already capitalism everywhere. And we beat our chests and yell about freedumb to countries that have far more personal freedoms than we enjoy. [/quote]
