What did these people do for years prior to becoming the NA? These people have killed each other for years.

What, one woman getting executed? We do that here. Hell, George Jr. killed more people in Texas while in office than I saw on those films. How do you know these people were not killed for real crimes? Baby killers or serial murders.

A moral scale? What the hell is that. We bombed them relentlessly, killing millions.

Granted, mans inhumanity to man. So, we want to ignore the past atrocities and just cook up a whole new set of them for our decendents to say "As for what the US did to the Afghani's over a century ago, that was over a century ago.
