But as we all know, the West demands that Palestinians show superhuman, Gandhi-like forbearance in the face of murderous oppression and relentless, widespread violence killing their children and families. They are never to respond in kind -- unlike the Americans, who have killed hundreds of thousands of people in response to a single attack on their soil. This after killing, by Washingtons own admission, more than half a million children in Iraq with peacetime sanctions -- against a nation which had never attacked the United States and posed no threat to it. The merest hint of a possible threat remotely occurring sometime in a barely imaginable future is justification enough for the Americans to lay waste to whole nations and kill thousands of people. (Of course, in many states in America this principle is now enshrined in law on an individual basis: you can shoot dead anyone you feel might be a threat to you -- whether they are or not. The stand your ground laws are a perfect example of a nation rotting from the head, as the murderous militarism and adherence to violence embodied by the bipartisan elite seep down through every strata of society.) This is the true -- the only -- meaning of American exceptionalism: the right to ruin, rape and murder in perfect moral purity.
