Who are the real animals?

Abuse of Iraqi prisoners

A question comes to mind.

Seeing as how this is horrendous no matter who it is inflicted upon: Would the Iraqi soldiers have done any less to U.S captives?

It goes without saying that strict action needs to be taken upon these individuals but what is their real punishment for rubbing salt where it would hurt these Muslim men the most: dehumanizing by degrading them in ways strictly forbidden by their religion, there reason for living, their system of beliefs.

Does the whole military condone this act? I seriously doubt it, but at what point did the need to survive turn to opression and enjoyment from humiliation of others is an amazing and scary thought.
 
Reason I won't read it said:
Ted Rall is the author of "Wake Up, You're Liberal: How We Can Take America Back From the Right,"

The more I think about it the more I think it's an absolutely superb military strategy. The civilian politician takes the heat & the military tells every radical muslim that if you don't give up or allow our soldiers to kill you, our women soldiers will have absolute authority over you. It puts another fear into the enemy.
 
Ted Rall is on my blacklist as well. There's a difference between not supporting the war and/or the president and using any means necessary, no matter what he has to trample on, to "shock and awe" people into agreeing with him. His methods will ruin his credibility with everyone that doesn't agree with him and a good percentage of thsoe that do. In other words, his drivel is absolutely useless.

I'd even go so far as to say his total and complete lack of regard for the dead and for everyone in the service shown in his Pat Tillman cartoon places him in the same category as the SS and the prison torturers. That makes him a hypocrite in addition to being a closed-minded, arrogant, boorish asshole.

Should I ever get an editorial position at a newspaper, his work will not be showing up on the pages of that paper and I'm prepared to take any heat that would be directed my way for it.

Too bad that strategy has never worked, Gonz. At least not for long.

As for the ass who wrote the article, I'll bet he never saw anything military in his life except for a parade. His whole article is based on 1960's thinking and substance. Even Squiggy would disagree with that jerks assessment.
 
Humans in general are venal, self-absorbed, selfrighteous asses. Unfortunately, these are probably prerequisite for the evolution of inteeligence. The few who rise above this are rare indeed. Frankly, it surprises me that anyone is surprised by such behavior. Read a little history.

"They were trying to humiliate us, break our pride. We are men. It's OK if they beat me. Beatings don't hurt us, it's just a blow. But no one would want their manhood to be shattered," he said.

"They wanted us to feel as though we were women, the way women feel and this is the worst insult, to feel like a woman," al-Shweiri said.

Don't forget those Satanic guard dogs:

The Shorter Ency. of Islam also describes Muhammad's strange viewpoint of dogs. Under Kalb (Arabic for dog), on page 215, it says,

"The dog, is also in Islam one of the "unclean beasts", primarily because it's flesh may not be eaten and further because, according to the Hadith, there are several special regulations regarding it. For example dogs render food which they lick impure and render unavailable water intended for ritual purification.

Vessels, likewise, which have been licked by dogs, require to be cleaned several times, including once with sand. In a certain way they render impure the whole room in which they are; for angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog and Muhammad had first to sprinkle the place on which a young dog had lain concealed with purificatory water before Gabriel would appear to him.

Dogs cut off the salat (prayer), i.e. they make the salat worthless when they come into the immediate vicinity of the man at prayer....

They don't like dogs & wimins? Too bad, the USA is in charge. They can have it back when they prove they're worthy.

If they do not wish to live to the standards of civilised society then they'll see us as occupiers.

You know, I may have mentioned this before, but you have lived virtually your entire life in an incorrect manner. It's okay though, because I'm going to come over to your house, move in, and make you do it right.

Unbelievable.

Chic he can live his life how he wants to and how he believes. same to all everywhere. why are you so intent on making him do right in your eyes? while I dont agree with almost anything he says he has a right to say it and believe it.
