Well, the $15,000 was as a recognition that our government had done harm. But
it wasn't recompense because, as was explained, the US government couldn't
possibly afford to actually pay compensation for all of the harm it has done
and will continue to do to innocent people during its wars. That would take
hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars.

Murder
Good Morning All!
Just as I'm heading for the shower and down the road to "do good on the Great
Olympic Peninsula", I want to urge folks to go to:
www.democracynow.org
Bring up the program for today, Tuesday, November 21, 2017. Following headline
news, the entire show is proof positive as to why we love Saudi Arabia and
Israel so much. Birds of a feather really do flock together. Especially if
they are Vultures.
As you listen, try to imagine that it is you who awakens to the sound of an
horrific explosion, and you are looking at stars instead of your ceiling, and
your wife is dead, covered with rubble, and your little girl does not answer
your call, and your brother's home next door is rubble, and he and his son are
also dead. Imagine that after many long months, the Americans admit, but not
in writing, to have bombed you by mistake and finally are willing to compensate
you for your losses. Total offer? $15,000. That will compensate your loss of
your wife and daughter and a home worth about $500,000 American.
Before the "error" you were a middle class farmer. Now you are too injured to
work, and you have no place to live.
It really makes us feel good to be so damned generous. But someone did say,
"We're truly sorry". Imagine! How would it feel if it were your home and
family murdered by mistake by an oppressive military force?
No wonder Donald Trump can hug the Saudi Prince and grin with the Israeli
Royalty.
