Regarding "Drumbeat Grows Louder in Congress for Obama to Act on Syria"

Note the racist term "barbaric" in this statement from Graham and
McCain. Tell me, how one compares "barbaric use of scuds" to [savage]
use of killer drones in 6 countries by US or [inhuman] use of cluster
bombs by US soon after our invasion of Afghanistan? Remember when we
thought Bin Laden was hiding in a spider cave? Those cluster bombs were
dirty bombs. The act of killing involves the act of dehumanizing
one's target and rationalizing it by distancing oneself from them,
sometimes through dehumanization process. Through this process one tends
to dehumanize themselves so they can commit this ultimate crime of
taking another human life. Ultimately violence never accomplishes
anything except more violence.
