Black Kettle & Sand Creek...lest we forget

This news will really go over well with the rest of the world, especially with Rev. Jones and his Qu'ran burning.

Is an American life more valuable than an Afghan one? Is an Iraqi or Mexican baby less valuable than an American baby? I've said this before, but once again, where are our values? Every living person, no matter what color, creed, race or country of origin, is a living being, capable of right or wrong, being a person of action, or turning a blind eye. I would argue that America lost it's value system a long time ago. We feel superior, entitled and do not allow discourse that questions our superiority or entitlement. Wake up people, we all live on the same planet, all humans love, and feel pain. We cannot even accept Americans in our own Country, how can we blueprint for another country. What value did we instill in these men that made them killers? Will anyone take responsibility? I may be a cynic, but America has lost it's values and we have no one to blame but ourselves.
