When most people think of serial killers, the names of Jack the Ripper, Jeffrey Dahmer, and Ted Bundy come to mind. No doubt, these were serial killers, but in point of fact the number of individuals that they so killed in comparison to the United States military and their indiscriminate bombing of civilians, which has been going on for decades upon decades, absolutely pales in comparison.
For instance, the two nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killed well over 150,000 civilians, combined. So too, the indiscriminate bombing of North Vietnam, killed well over 100,000 civilians; and finally, as estimated by Airwars, America’s war against terrorism, to date, has killed upwards of 48,000 civilians since 9/11/2001.
Whether one desires to classify the bombing of civilians, in some nonsensical way, as in “collateral damage,” or “inadvertent casualties,” or something along these lines, the truth of the matter is that the nature of American bombing, by definition, is typically going to have some civilian casualties, and in many a case, depending upon the target so selected, it is for a certainty going to have civilian casualties. This thus signifies, that by virtue of America continuing to bomb what it has defined as being their enemies, as well as conveniently providing itself the exclusive right to define who, what, and where those enemies are, that the American military through its bombing operations, is by all reasonable accounts, a serial killer of civilians.
By definition, a serial killer is somebody or some entity, that deliberately targets and murders an individual or a group of such, and then after some lapse of time, goes ahead and does it again and again and again. This, in a nutshell, is the traditional bombing strategy of the United States of America, which should by all accounts be held accountable for crimes against humanity for having been a serial killer, for decades. Yet, no world government or tribunal will ever put America on trial, because America not only is the sole superpower in the world, but also because America has not been defeated in a manner in which they would be susceptible to an actual war crimes trial.
Those that are serial killers, are egocentric psychopaths, that lack guilt, empathy, or concern for others, for what they have so done in their cold-blooded killing of civilians. Not too surprisingly, America will use just about any word that it can come up with or invent so as to obfuscate that it has actually killed real non-combatants, as in civilians, by their bombs; for they prefer to believe that on some degree or level, that those so killed, were not really human, but at best, subhuman, and further to the point, deserving of their fate.
While America weeps crocodile tears for their own civilians killed, such as by the 9/11 terrorist attacks; somehow, they are able to completely compartmentalize what they have so done in response, and believe that they are in a sense, blessed by God, in their indiscriminate bombing and killing of civilians in return. The fact that nothing ever changes in the thinking of the military minds of America, about bombing and its appropriateness, is indicative that serial killers and the American military are one and the same.
