Yesterday I
blogged on Digby's comments about a caller to Limpballs' show expressing her rage because one kid showed up in a photograph from Indonesia wearing an Osama Bin Laden T-shirt. (It occurred to me later that it's entirely possible that such a shirt was one of those "Wanted Dead or Alive" shirts that were so popular in the U.S. for about five minutes after 9/11, but of course considering that possibility might mean that this caller might have to have some human empathy, and after all, we mustn't have that, now, must we?)
Americablog today links to a truly ghastly (and very graphic, you have been warned)
photo that shows far better than the highly sanitized and much-repeated footage we're seeing in the LRWM exactly the kind of death, destruction and horror they're dealing with in Asia.
And our government STILL isn't being anywhere near as generous as countries with far less population than we do.
