"Gassing civilians is unacceptable" according to democratic leaders.
I'm led to believe that these people find killing humans through more conventional means, bombs and bullets IS acceptable. Because, so far, they have not reacted, but once poison gas is mentioned they are mobilising.
I must've lost a meeting with civility...since when did the act of taking a life is secondary to the means used? You just bomb them or shoot them in the back-it's OK, but sarin gas or chlorine gas?
Same with someone throwing a hand grenade to the other side, and the other side replies with a barrage of rockets...."The analogy of the response was disproportionate" is their jargon.
They put a price on everything. Unfortunately, the price they put on human life is too low...
Well I hope you live long now, I pray the lord your soul to keep
I think I'll be going before we fold our arms and start to weep
I never thought for a moment that human life could be so cheap
'Cos when they finally put you in the ground
I'll stand on your grave and TRAMP THE DIRT DOWN
"Tramp The Dirt Down" (ELVIS COSTELLO)
History is short, the sun is just a minor star
The poor man sells his kidneys in some colonial bazaar
Que sera sera
Is that your new Ferrari car
You don't have to be a Jew to disapprove of murder
Tears burn my eyes
Moslem or Christian, Mullah or Pope
Preacher or Poet, who was it wrote
Give any one species too much rope
and they'll fuck it up...
"Too Much Rope" (Roger Waters)
