Or I could just replace Blackwater with “Obama” for your undivided attention. 
He’s not even a citizen.

Not to be a dick about this but are you really this offended by this? The situation in Iraq is fubar as is. If a company bribed some officials so they do not cause a ruckus so be it. Its the cost of doing business. Its nothing new and its how things are done in some countries. Oh wow guess what??! Its also how shit is done on the home front too. Well except usually people dont die and its not as public…well unless the beneficiary is in the way of someone…Spitzer anyone?
a bunch of innocent people get killed and a corporation bribes officials to lessen the fall-out.
americans talk about it casually as if it’s not that big of a deal.
partly becuase they’re brown
partly because they’re far away
partly because we’re so desensitized to this shit because we all know it happens over here too and there is really nothing we can do about it therefore it is counter productive to get too upset about it.
then we grown up and participate in it…

LOLLLL Bing you think people should REALLY be upset every time something fucked up happens in WAR? Do you think said “brown” people so far away should have big ordeals every time they find out one of their politicians or businessmen is doing something wrong?
I don’t think their being “brown” has anything to do with it. It is war, in civilization it can’t be avoided.
It is completely awful that PEOPLE died, not just “innocent” people but everyone on both sides.
Do you think they play dirty?
If an Iraqi company had paid bribes to silence American officials because it had killed americans, do you think the Iraqi people would give a shit?
One of the car parts you sell to a customer breaks @ 150mph, he gets seriously injured and somehow there is enough evidence to say your goods aren’t road worthy and you have a lawsuit on your hands.
You do know however, the plaintiff loves your restaurants food and could be silenced with a years worth in free meals…

16 civilians is more then “ooooppssss we shot someone cause we thought they were dangerous” it is more like blow everything up and sort it out later. Private corporations running security is disgusting
You want to see disgusting? Go fights a war with your side having to follow all sorts of rules and the other just killing anytime and anywhere. That is fucking disgusting and that is why we have private security firms.
Man some of you would REALLY shit bricks if you knew of all of the mercenaries we hire in from other countries that do the real dirty work hahaha.
