I hope your family is all right now - that sucks. I HATE communist apologism. These same "pure liberals" who revere JFK and RFK don't seem to realize how much they rightfully hated communist regimes - because they were brutal, murderous dictatorships. Of course the U.S. has made mistakes, but we do NOT sanction the mass deportation and slaughter of millions of people.

(Well, not since our shameful and evil treatment of Native Americans, probably the worst blight on the history of America.)

By and large I support the military. I have always found military service to be a gallant and honorable way to perform a duty to something greater than yourself, and I have respect for those with the courage to serve. Abu Ghraib represents a tiny minority in the military, and the true blame for that, to me, goes to Rumsfeld and Gonzales, who authorized and ordered such treatment.
