    Daniel Kish, a man with blindness, uses echolocation to navigate the world and teaches others how to do it. He had done a bit of tv stuff and I think a TED-like talk or two about blindness and perception.

    I don't have any direct quotes, but you may find your answer from him.

    Obviously from all those plucky little 3rd world countries we democratized in previous wars, silly! In other words, we're just defending ourselves from the consequences of our actions; totally normal and rational and okay to call it defense.

    In case I'm not clear: the US has been the hotdog costume guy for a long time, but we don't drive a car into the shops we're robbing, we bring tanks.
