“Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends,” the president said, quoting scripture.… “Because of these patriots, and because of you, this country that we love will always shine as a light onto the world.”
In an effort not to seethe further at the absurdity of U.S. imperial hagiography, with all of the execrable conceit of State Department spokespersons who construct hierarchies of good and bad humans which translates into an ordering of those who deserve to live and those who deserve to die, and their unlimited ability to project their own sins into fantasies of the other, I thought: why not help the U.S. State Department improve on the deification of its belligerent agents?
