I Don't Know Lloyd, I Heard...

Talk radio and Fox and other right-wing types constantly rail about the liberal bias in the media, and how the various successes in Afghanistan/Iraq aren't covered with the same glee that the tragedies are. According to them, for every insurgent there are villages full of people cheering America on.

Well, perhaps we should cover the grateful Iraqis better. Like the Kurds. They were gassed by Saddam Hussein, right? What a monster he was -- gassed his OWN people (as if that's somehow worse than gassing other people). But the Kurds, they're such victims. So let's see how gracious and happy they are...

Oh, they're blowing up trains in Turkey. Huh.

The moral of the story is: no one deserves to be on the high horse. Everyone is an asshole. Americans are assholes, the French are assholes, Hussein is an asshole, the Kurds are assholes. I'm sure even the Swiss are assholes. A solid argument for why there's no God. That, or he's an asshole.
