ARUBA BULLSHIT PART 2

its not bullshit wouldn't you want to be searched for if you went missing.. anything could have happened to this girl and the people in iraq are already dead.. wut they did is very honorable but there is nothing the us can do to help them now..


So many comment posts on my ARUBA BULLSHIT blog from June. Mybe I should make myself clear. I am sorry for the girl and her family and urge that the search continue. I am not an unfeeling monster. I'm a feeling monster, but I'm feeling like some of y'all aren't getting my point.

To Anonymous above: Yes, of course I would want to be searched for if I was missing, especially if I was dead (?). But did Anonymous really say that "the people in Iraq are already dead"? So we should care more about one possibly dead girl than 100,000 dead Iraqi CIVILIANS and soldiers on both sides??? And turn a blind eye to a grisly, unfair war which will kill many more of theirs and ours? Shouldn't that situation take priority in the media? Are you seeing nightly stories in which the dead American soldiers' families are interviewed? Nope, because the government doesn't want us to focus on the horrors of war. If we woke up to it as a nation, we would stop supporting it. Anonymous, why don't you care about the huge death toll in Iraq? Because our soldiers aren't being killed while on vacation? I can sympathize with this girl's family but still realize that she, like the national obsession that was the Laci Peterson case, is a smokescreen to keep your mind off the government's many dirty dealings. Natalee and Laci are like boogieman stories told to children to scare them from poking around in the dark.

I think quite a few of the comment posts on the Aruba blog don't know anything about me, but were just googling Aruba and my site came up. I actually think it's sweet that you are concerned about Natalee. I just wish that you cared as much about the hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths in Iraq that could have been be prevented and which continue to happen.

Read my next blog entry if you don't believe that our news is slanted.
