Which you'd care about, as long as they weren't Iraqi or Palestinian butterflies, right?

I can't believe what I am reading?! Weren't you the girl who liked the nightly bombing of Iraqi cities coz the tacers mortar rounds were making for nice TV? (I mean, they do make for nice TV, don't get me wrong).

This newfound concern for human life seems extremely selfish. Have you thought about the Iraqis watching TV? Maybe they find that nice, red, American guts make for colourful and arty TV shots? (And i bet they would. Red against ocre - desert innit, background? It works).

Well, that's Contra's point, isn't it? Iraqis dying for your entertainment is OK but you balk at the idea when it concerns Americans...

That's called double-standard...
