    Instead of indifference about his expiration, we should be pressuring pelosi to cut off all funding for these acts of war until he brings a vote to congress. And then pressure our reps to vote NO.

    The US is not a dictatorship and if conservatives are serious about debt relief, it's time for us to scale back our war machine. 

    Simple messaging.

    so indifference is unethical now too?
    I think Kat's statement is fair. Just the topic of wishing for someone's death vs. being okay with someone's death, regardless of the situation - both are beneath us all, and there are more productive points we can discuss here. My apologies, Kat!
    meh. I think there is a huge chasm between wishing vs not caring. But either way.....
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    When was the last time a million Americans gathered in a square to shout "Death to [Name Your Country]!"  Never. Our government is not perfect. Much of our foreign policy is whacked. But by and large, we are a generous people who would never whip ourselves into a stampede over the death of a general. Quite simplistically, and I know unrealistically, I would love it if we pulled out of Iraq and let those people have that desert all to themselves to do whatever they want. Good riddance, I would say. The Middle East has been nothing but trouble from the beginning. I just can't understand or sympathize with the point of view of a people, a culture, who hatefully gather to shout "Death to America." Fuck that. God help us all. We've got a lunatic president leading us into a war against a country also led by lunatics.

    Good job Donald J Trump and anyone who voted for him.

    I hope this doesn't get me banned. But who knows.

     when was the last time a country invaded the US under the guise of liberation just to control the region's oil supply, killed hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, bragged "mission accomplished", and occupied that territory for a decade. 

    just imagine if that happened. you'd be in the streets shouting at the top of you lungs too.

    Yeah but that was Iraq, not Iran. I agree with what dreams.  Pull the hell
    out of the Middle East and let them sort out their own problems.
