Missbehaving Marines

Today's top story is the breast implant scandal, hundreds of poor vain, vacuous women are having to decide whether to remove hazardous breast implants made of industrial silicone, cue images of said women groggy from surgery. And in other news Marines in Afghanistan have been caught pissing on dead bodies of 'Taliban fighters' as if that makes it OK and considering the amount of civilian casualties they have notched up in this war how do we actually know that to be the case? They are already dead what more can they do? Oh yes I know... 
Yet more (if any were needed) proof that these 'hero's' are mostly a pack of blood thirsty animals just as barbaric as those they claim to be at war with, and why have we ever been 'at war' in Afghanistan?
Can someone give me a definitive answer on that? Please?
Just another despicable incident to add to the pile, from the female soldier on top of a human pyramid in Abu Gharib, to the soldiers shooting civilians in helicopters thank you Bradley Manning who is now facing charges of treason (for what showing people the truth of what is going on)? 
If England or America was invaded by brown/black people who raped women, killed civilians for sport, maimed children, killed your children, disrespected you dead and alive what I ask you do you think would be the response?
For example when Mel Gibson rescues his daughter or anyone in a film and has been wronged by the baddie, when he kills that person we all feel that it is justified correct?
He raped his daughter, beat her up, kidnapped her, so his actions in killing the person in the most violent gory and satisfying way possible restores the balance. At least half of all movies ever made show you this time and time again right? Even Denzel Washington a African American man can go to those extremes in movie and it is accepted as the right moral out come, (a very recently acceptable outcome let us not forget).
The point I am trying to make is that if you are brown/black/white and Muslim and from some place that you only see in your television and you are dead being pissed on in the streets by soldiers who's wages are paid by your taxes including those of Muslims, it comes second to some white/black/Asian woman who's boob's she purchased have been found to be faulty. Sound right? 
We are drip fed news by 'journalists' who only report what they are allowed to report, and fail to bring to the attention of the masses things like this that are happening every day. 
But because some Muslim men blew up a tower 11 years ago it's OK to piss on (or humiliate in various ways) someone totally unrelated to it apart from the fact that he is brown and Muslim. 
OK then, that's the kind of world I live in, I guess I should refrain from procreation as I am an olive hue and I would like my children to have a modicum of respect from their fellow man. 
What kills me the most is that this will be condemned, swept under the rug and in a few months the person responsible for leaking the images will be in some military jail facing charges of treason and branded a 'traitor' to his fellow soldiers where as if he hadn't have had a conscience and remained a traitor to the human race he would have come home hailed as a 'hero'.
I am a pacifist, a contentious objector, a lover of peace and my fellow man who ever you are where ever you come from, to all men and women of a similar mind frame God bless you and may you never change.
To all the people who think that such action's are warranted against 'terrorists' (anyone brown/Muslim) ask yourself why the IRA and large swathes of the Irish population are not hobbling around maimed, their wives raped, their children slaughtered?
I can tell you the fact that they are white and can sit around a table in suits and join lodges is the reason, they during their 'campaigns' killed more people than died in 9/11.
I could go on a and on and on about these heinous war crimes, the incidences of complete hypocrisy that our 'democratic' leaders constantly are involved in, the rise of hate crimes assisted by the media, this climate of 'need to know' news for the masses. But what's the point? I guess I just have to accept that while some women need pieces of plastic removed from their chest's my worries for all of humanity will have to wait.
