People in America are oftentimes wont to complain of the indifference of the Federal Government, specifically the IRS (Internal Revenue Service), in their confiscation - what in essence amounts to misappropriation - of portions of their earned income. They cringe at the thought of the latest in a long line of tax increases, but choose to remain ignorant of exactly how many taxes they actually pay during the course of their lifetime.

Would that this level of tyranny had been visited upon the countless millions who have come to call portions of Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen home, perhaps the wholesale annihilation of their living standard could have been averted. The pictures that follow serve as illustrative proof of what money can buy - what the American people have essentially been forced to pay for through the Federal Government's current system of involuntary income redistribution.
Should the American people - who, by and large, have made a conscious decision to stand on the sidelines of moral objectivity - be liable for the actions of a political establishment that openly endorses the slaughter of indigenous populations as a point of emphasis in the fulfillment of foreign policy objectives?
That is something each one of us will have to decide for ourselves.
