Its official, people died in the Iraq war. That is basically what this document really said but what liberals are really unhappy about is the fact we ain't building monuments to them. They would love to build a monument to their deaths so they can use it to beat up on patriotic Americans. The tone of moral superiority can never be ignored with people on the left in everything they do. It becomes quite inescapable not to realize that every political objective they seek is to establish some kind of moral superiority.
The reason for this is because of progressivism's almost spiritual view of society. They believe that their is a spirit that works unknowingly within society to progresses society to its end goal. I know that progressives won't acknowledge this because they themselves don't realize this but early progressives and their fascist European counterparts believed in the same thing. Its the reason why we have concepts of 'national spirit' or the use of the word 'progress' or 'change'.
They see societies Hegelian dialectic where the old is more evil while the new is less evil since the new has progressed from its old social husk. Society is a constant cycle of regeneration where each regeneration brings it closer to perfection but each regeneration in itself will be the next generations old husk.
I think 66,000 people deaths is a tragedy but I don't feel guilty about it in the way liberals want us to. I can't when many democrats also pushed for war. The only reason for their supposed moral superiority is that they see themselves as the positive side of the Hegelian dialectic.
I'm sorry, but I just don't believe that society is advancing towards some future endpoint or humanity is improving. Humanity remains as good and as rotten as it ever was. I'm not sad about this fact. I am sad that there are those who are willing to sacrifice freedom and compassion in order to achieve this end goal.
