And so how does that make it better? Let me put it this way, we use torture. Does that make us any better than the ba'athist scum of Saddam? Since when does descending to the level of the moral equivalent of human slime make us any better than him. Pardon me but as far as I can see if you wallow in shit you smell and look like shit.
If you use the same methods as that sort of shit, doesn't that make you the same, or worse since you should know better. According to its ideals, and its propaganda, the US is better than that. Then why do you want this so called great country to wallow in that same level of shit? If so then the only conclusion one can reach is that you think this country is worth shit. If so unlike you I think this country is worth a lot more than that. If so then it should start acting like it. >The history of the Middle East is five thousand years of kings, dictators, >and warlords. > >As for torture by the US government, specific cases like Abu Ghraib were >punished, and the worst treatment I have read that high-level terrorists >received was weaterboarding, stress positions, hot and cold temperature >changes, sleep deprivation, and some beatings.
