Oreinonaut: I don't think you get it. The US government and other governments around the world have murdered millions of people and enslave billions and no one seems to care. They carpet bombed Europe and killed millions. They enslaved hundreds of thousands to fight their wars overseas. They put people in rape cages for not paying tribute. How much more fucking obvious does it need to be for you?
You misunderstand.

I get this. I do. The point that I'm trying to make is that, when this kind of shit is done, it is done in away that is tailored so that it seems like it's a necessity. Those who aren't completely fucking blind can see it. (You; I...) However, the fact that it is so easily explained away as 'collateral damage' keeps it among the realm of 'that which isn't truly exposed.' Maybe I'm being kind of technical here, but that's the way I see it. The reason that people don't care is because - for whatever reasons - they have found ways to explain away the atrocities that they are aware of, as 'Greater Good' solutions, instead of intrinsically malicious acts. Xei is interchanging the exposure of obvious self-defense measures, with what would happen if the population discovered that the government is willingly killing thousands of its citizens, in order to dupe the people into a premeditated war.

Call me crazy, but I think the two revelations would provoke different reactions, among the American people.
