if you wanna make an omelet...

...you have to break a few eggs, where "make an omelet" = "democratize Iraq" and "break a few eggs" = "melt the skin off children."
Sickening. I'm sorry. This has been a trying few weeks (and a trying few years) for all people of conscience.

There is no plan for us, there is no divine retribution, no karma, no second chance to put things right. The people who have called for and committed these atrocities will not be brought to account by God or any other mystical power.
It is up to us to make them accountable. But we are also at fault who have little power, who hide behind our TVs and newspapers and keyboards, too lazy to even hit the streets or write a letter. Too scared or embarrassed to stand up and try to make any kind of difference at all.
I am ashamed of myself and my country. We are the bastards.
We let them melt the skin off children.

57 people killed in triple suicide bombing in Amman, Jordan. So, yeah, "not as bad as the terrorists." Congratufuckinglations. Maybe.
