Hell they been killing each other for centuries . And why are we blaming rumsfeld for did he order those people to take those pics? Its like your cousin steals a car so they arrest your dad . People always trying to blame some one else . Time to take credit for your own mistakes,it would make this world a better place
Well, I will agree with your second paragraph. You're right on that.
In reference to your 1st paraghraph, however, Someone posted "An eye for an eye, and we'll all be blind".
As much as I'd like to do what you want to in your first paragraph, that is not right and takes us down to their level. We are Americans. This great country was founded on Freedom for everyone. We are to uphold high moral standards, and treat everyone with fairness. You can not truly believe in the Bill of Rights and the Constituition without projecting those ideals to everyone in the world.
What makes us better than those barbaric extremists, is that we won't kill their families, and neighbors in retaliation. Trust me, the idea is tempting. But it is not right. As my 1stSargent would say, "We will maintain the standard, regardless of what everyone else is doing". Now, he was an asshole, but, he was right. And the standard is that America is better than everybody else. Because we do not lower ourselves by senseless retaliation. We treat our prisoners with the proper respect, until they have have been judge by a fair method. We recognize that every individual has certain basic rights that should not be violated. This is what makes us American.
Don't get blinded by emotion. What happend to Berg, the Contractors, Shugart and Gordon, that reporter who was beheaded in Pakistan(or Afgahnistan), was horrible and barbaric. And We will seek justice in the proper way.
