Best part has been Condoleezza Rice and a few other talking heads saying how the estimated 300 civilians killed in Ukraine to date is a war crime and completely unacceptable.

Er... The UN estimates 500,000 civilian deaths tied to Clinton's No-Fly and embargo (including an embargo of all medical aid) on Iraq alone. And that was followed by greatest hits like The War on Terror, which has been estimated to have cost another half million civilian deaths.

I'm not exactly a liberal - I have no problem with people getting killed who deserve it - but are these people really going to get up in front of a camera and bemoan 300 deaths when their civilian body count is in the millions...?

Lest we forget Condi was shoe shopping while Katrina was happening, over 300 people died there and she is still gets to weigh in on this?

I could think of one example where "6 million" of group j gets described as being way, way, way, more impactful than 20 million of people group r being killed.
