I don’t understand how the American people can kill 700,000 Iraqis in the name of justice and freedom, and never express remorse, nor even that it happened, seeing that most of these killed were innocent people. This includes women and children, whose only crime was they were in the wrong place.

Perhaps 14,000 (out of 700,000) were involved in some way in wrongdoing, in terror. In the war on terror.

I don’t understand how the president can ignore the genocide he launched under falsehoods, non-existent weapons of mass destruction, but then come running out to the Southern California fires to say “our hearts are with you," and “things will get better tomorrow."

When he never even mentions innocent Iraqis killed. I don’t understand, where’s his humanity? If he has any.

I don’t understand why the Democrats claim to lead the country, but then go along with this genocide (which has come to rival Auschwitz, the Nazi death camp), in the number of casualties (1.1 million were killed in Auschwitz).

The Democrats have been consistent accomplices in this crime and run for cover and hide lest the Republicans call them “unpatriotic," or “soft on terror."

I don’t understand why they don’t have a backbone. Democrats have proven they can’t lead this country. I understand that.

I don’t understand. What is the difference, the fine line, between killing someone deliberately who’s innocent, like at Auschwitz, and killing someone who is innocent because you start a war that you say is based on righteousness?

One is an atrocity. The other is great.

I don’t understand why many Americans don’t feel a sliver of remorse, but instead say, they deserved it, “blow their sh..t away." They’re just nameless faces. What’s even worse for them is…they’re foreigners.

They all got what they deserved.

I don’t understand that kind of callous attitude. Unless many Americans are maladjusted dysfunctional types who were trained in watching violence portrayed as just on TV when they were kids. Who believe that killing is the easy simple solution to every problem, and who also believe, as long as it doesn’t happen to me, I don’t care. It’s okay.

Serves ‘em right.

The only thing these people seem to care about is watching American Idol.

I don’t understand. I don’t understand why an international tribunal is not put together to charge Bush and members of Congress with war crimes. I don’t understand it, but I still know why. Because we’re the most powerful country in the world, so we’re always right. We won. The victors are never tried for the things they do.

I don’t understand. I don’t understand how the Republicans can watch the Polar Icecaps melt right in front of their eyes and still claim it isn’t happening. The rest are convinced it will cost money to do something, and they won’t make as much money if they do.

I don’t understand that.

I don’t understand why decent people can no longer seek public office because they don’t have enough money. Why the only people we have to vote for (with few exceptions) are those whose real ability is the skill to deceive, cover up, connive.

I don’t understand why people with human ideals, humility, honesty, can’t run for office. Any longer. I don’t understand why the electoral system is not modified to make more of a level playing field so they can run.

I don’t understand why America has to slip from its original promise of liberty into a corrupt Roman Empire.

I don’t understand. I don’t understand why I’m so against those things when everybody else seems to be for them. Why is honesty so important to me? I must be naive.

I’m out of touch. I don’t understand this country at all.

I don’t understand why I don‘t understand it.
