If They're Dead, They're VC

As'ad Abu Khalil updates that adage for the 21st Century (irony and sarcasm not coincidental, but intentional):

So whenever you see pictures of women and children injured and killed by US bombs, remind yourself that they are all part of the Zarqawi network, or they could be part of Zarqawi's extended family, and that they all deserve to die. Whoever is killed by US troops worldwide deserve to die; such is the American doctrine in post-Vietnam America. This is why liberals before conservatives have to preface anything they say about war by the refrain: "I want to make it very clear that I support the troops." Support them in what, I have always wondered? Support them in Abu Ghrayb? Or in Fallujah now? But the civilian victims, whether in Iraq or Afghanistan, also belong to an inferior race, and their killing does not, and should not, displease the members of the higher civilization who have been wanting to see Fallujah burn for several months now. Watch all those Democrats in Congress come out in support of the brutalization of Fallujah, and watch them cheer the heroism of US troops. To have some 130,000 US troops (aided by 28 Macedonian soldiers) pitted against some 2500 insurgents is real military heroism and courage.
