And the voice of the redneck was heard in the land

I thought I’d share part of a comment that was made on another blog. It’s written in response to a suggestion in a comment of mine that the countries that invaded Iraq should do everything in their power to make restitution to the Iraqi people for the misery we’ve inflicted on them. Here’s the response:

Bollocks. We have offered them a path to peace, prosperity and democracy.  They have chosen terrorism and civil war.  We owe them nothing.  They have dug their own graves.  Now they can lie in them.

It’s hard to conceive of an attitude that better combines sheer ignorance of the facts, blind ideological distortion of reality, lack of normal human compassion and above all, rabid contempt for the people whose country we helped to invade and destroy.

If you have trouble believing that anybody could be such a complete arsehole you can read the whole exchange here, but I certainly don’t recommend it.
