ELLEN'S WAR CRIME FAIL is also america's

Some things are differences of opinion and beliefs.

Like how best to allocate our taxes. Or whether auto-tune mumble rap is better than Dr Dre, Public Enemy, Cypress, Busta, Cube or a Tribe Called Quest.

Then there are things that really aren’t just differences of opinion.

Like when George W Bush took us to war against Iraq based on lies. That is not close to the same as "wearing fur".

When people like Ellen or anyone else (no matter how much we might love them) takes pictures hugging Bush or takes the tone deafening stance that Bush just has different "beliefs", that is an assault on all of our humanity. We have never had a bi-partisan investigation and prosecution of the crime of the Iraq War. Nor have we done so for the genocide of Native Americans. Nor have we made reparations for slavery.

So it is no surprise we have not done a moral inventory for the war crime of the Iraq invasion. The hundreds of thousands killed. The torture. The killed and maimed Americans. The displaced families. The festering fertile ground for the creation of ISIS.

Only kicking and screaming do we on occasion amend our laws to accommodate basic human dignities in the face of decades of atrocity.

But the people and institutions that were really responsible — nor their victims and the children ever see justice.

When rich public figures like "Ellen" defend a friendship with a war criminal that is not about a difference of opinion or “being nice”. That is supporting the sick disease of denial, mass murder and racism that’s plagued America since its inception. It is sociopathic elitism at its grossest. And it's shameful.
