Sharia law to begin with.
This is the culture that cuts off people's hands for stealing and hold
public executions where women are stoned to death by children.
These aren't democracies, they are what most in the west would typify as
backward almost stone age cultures that have not changed with the rest
of the world
and embraced the values of freedom, human rights and equality. In short
you expect this animalistic and inhumane behaviour from these groups.
Shock is from something you don't expect. I think someone would need to
be particular myopic not to have expected this coming out of that
culture.
The world would be far more shocked if some Europeans did something like
this.
Are you suggesting that the abuse of those prisoners is US Culture and
everything the United States stands for, and thus no one should be
shocked by soldiers raping women?
Or standing around laughing while another man is mauled by a dog?
I find it even sadder that some would try to compare America to these
brutal militant terrorists and dictatorial regimes.
It suggests a level of desperation to defend the despicable actions of
these men and women that I think should not be there.
What they did was wrong, inhumane and before now it was unthinkable by
most that US Soldiers would do that. No matter if the entire world
starts skinning people alive or butchering babies while they sleep,
*NOTHING* will change that fact.
But then you fully understand all this, thus one wonders why the pointed
question.
I hope you got the answer from me that you were searching for.
The part that matters to you most was probably in the first four words
of this reply.
I truly thought America stood for far, far more than these cultures.
But from your words today, you as an American, I suppose I was wrong.
I will no longer be shocked by such actions from US Soldiers, or moved
to denounce them as animals.
It's apparently par for the course? If I'm incorrect please let me know.

So Gel,
You were shocked at the abuse Iraqi prisoners were put through. Can I
hear your
shock at terrorists parading around heads and other body parts in
celebration?
