    Oh no, I didn’t mean it that way. If they thought about it then they would care. But most Americans are years past thinking about the Iraq wars, until you mention Cheney. Then it’s all memories of service member memorials on prime time news. If they sat down and thought about it more I’m sure they’d get to thinking about the Iraqis again, it’s just normal human stuff to think about the stuff closer to you first.

      Oh. yeah. It’s impossible to keep up with US sponsored atrocities or internalize them as personal failures.

      Anyone who was alive in 2003 had good reason to be disgusted by the Liz Cheney endorsement though.

        Cheney is one of those names that will always leave a bitter taste to me.
