"Screw Them"

Democrats in Self-Destruct Mode CCLIII

It has since been changed, but here is the original version of a weblog entry at The Daily Kos by Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, a big-time Democrat blogger.

Every death should be on the front page

Let the people see what war is like. This isn't an Xbox game. There are real repercussions to Bush's folly.

That said, I feel nothing over the death of merceneries. They aren't in Iraq because of orders, or because they are there trying to help the people make Iraq a better place. They are there to wage war for profit. Screw them.

P.S. Zuniga has blogged an "apology"/"explanation" that would do even John Kerry mighty proud:

.... So not only was I wrong to say I felt nothing over their deaths, I was lying. I felt way too much. Nobody deserves to die. But in the greater scheme of things, there are a lot of greater tragedies going on in Iraq (51 last month, plus countless civilians and Iraqi police). That those tragedies are essentially ignored these days is, ultimately, the greatest tragedy of all.
