The pride I never had, the nationality that I never felt
Saddam was bad, and the American’s even more so
They made me grow like i was missing part of my torso
But I never picked up a grenade in my garden
I never saw people I love die starving
I never saw my family die through many years of sanctions
While the rulers family lived in palaces and mansions
Never had a family member kidnapped for a ransom
I never lost a friend to violence that was random
Bombings, occupation, torture, intimidation
A million dead people doesn’t equal liberation
Comment on YSK that everything the New York Times about Donald Trump actually happened
humanamerican@lemmy.zip 12 hours agoIraq II - Shock and Awe was definitely a huge part of my political awakening. I’m still saddened (but no longer amazed) that more people didn’t figure it out at the time, and that so many still haven’t figured it out.

People still think the NYT is some left leaning (or even “far left” in some circles) source. It’s fucking absurd.
