I bet if a poll were taken on this it would show that about 40% of Americans would say they would approve of using them in Iraq if Bush told them they were needed.

6. poor opinion you have of Americans
Would you care if Americans met the same fate? I mean, what other fate should befall such a people?

8. Large portion of Americans think torture is OK too
What do you say about that? Do you approve of torture too?

9. I do not
and I disapprove of outsourcing it as well.

But genocide and selective torture is, well, two different actions all together.

As progressives, it is incumbent upon us to realize that a large minority of Americans see this Iraq adventure as an attempt to bring democracy and liberty to an oppressed people. A situation whereby the murder of brown-skinned people was a bonus, but certainly not a primary goal.

Certainly they were fooled by the war criminals who directed this, but their motives are far, far purer.

11. Didn't we already do that in Afghanistan?
Edited on Sat Dec-10-05 08:47 PM by Jim__
The crematory ovens anyway. Did anyone complain?

In all seriousness, I remember that after the Afghan war, prisoners were shoved into hot trailers in the sun and baked alive. The stories made the press. There was no outcry, no horror.

12. Yes but the were allowed some air holes by the guards firing machine guns
...into the metal containers they were locked in while they were locked in them. So that made most Fox news viewers think it was alright then.
