If stating the truth is divisive then you are simply being brave.
People often do not like to hear the truth.
It is frightening to see a man who is debating with college students- exercising freedom of speech and democracy - stating his views and openly engaging minds, shot down and killed by an assassin.
But do we feel equally uncomfortable about the numerous and increasing number of drone strikes the US has perpetrated against 'enemy combatant suspects' for decades now, in breach of international law, where an estimated 50 bystanders are killed for every enemy combatant suspect?
There is no trial, no court, no jurisdiction even- just the global tyranny of US power projection into nations where no war is declared between them and the US.
Hundreds of military bases globally enable these hi tech remotely controlled killings in the name of US imperialism.

We have been desensitized to the deaths at the hands of the US government. The state. There are few on SN that are more anti-state than me. I agree with you. I have long opposed the war machine and still do. Many of us on SN do. Many Christians do. Not enough. Not enough. Believe me, my brothers in Christ know what I think about war and the crimes the state has perpetuated on mankind.
