America doesn't care if you kill people who aren't white or at least christian and never has.
Historically it seems to be that way, but I really believe Americans generally have their head up their asses to the extent that most don't care who in the hell is killed so long as it isn't "us" over "here". Despite Vonnegut, do we care about Dresden, Germany?

DINGDINGDINGDINGDING and we have a winner. Summs up my feelings exactly, and I've READ Vonnegut.
What all are failing to realize is that this shit happens. And, the only reason we are up in arms about it is that it is on video. I mean, in the same situation, any of would probably do the same thing, and I think a lot of these guys are showing some restraint. It can't be easy when you have no idea who your friends are. It's not like this guy went My Lai or anything.
