It's wrong to kill innocent people here and it's wrong to kill them in other countries. At no point is the person who perpetrates such a crime "brave" or "a hero". Unfortunately a certain portion of this country watches a supposedly fair and balanced bunch of clowns fabricating news events every day. Their leaders seem to be a racist bigoted radio announcer and a deranged television host who sounds more like a 8 year old cry baby than anything else. According to those guys it's everybody's fault but our own for our own circumstance. It's the communists. It's the terrorists. It's the liberal media. It's the Muslims. It's the Hollywood actors. I heard Glenn Beck blame Tim freaking Robbins the other day. As long as we propagate hate and fail to embrace responsibility we will continue down this path. That includes taking responsibility for Blackwater and every one of those criminals going to jail for their crimes. That means rogue service personnel being held responsible for their actions. That means CIA and FBI operatives being held responsible for their actions and that means the politicians and bureaucrats that authorize that sort of behavior being held accountable for it.
That being said, I believe the Obama Administration had an amazing chance to hold a lot of criminals accountable for their actions and pussed out. I think Dick Cheney is a war criminal, I think John Yoo is a war criminal and I think Donald Rumsfeld is a war criminal. And that's just the short list.
