If roles were reversed and the Abu Ghraib pictures were American GI's being tortured

[BigBearJohn]

Imagine the hatred WE would feel towards our captors.
It sickens me to think of it. I don't care whose side you're on.
Torture is an evil and vile thing. How much further down can we
sink as a nation? I'm so depressed.

1. Yes, but that's because you're American and therefore good.

So when you feel hatred towards the torturers of your nations' soldiers it is motivated by a deep sense of patriotism and honour and an understanding of the value of human life.

When THEY feel hatred towards the RIGHTEOUS American torturers of THEIR soldiers it happens for a different reason, it is because they are EVIL and motivated by blind nationalism and self-absorption and an unrealistic view of their situation.

3. If that were to happen Busholini would send another 50K Troops

to hunt down the perps. The American people would demand it!

4. make that an American citizen instead of a soldier and the outrage would be fierce

[Disturbed]

5. Nick Berg was an American citizen.

His head was supposedly sliced off. The Video was not convincing that it actually was cut of while
he was alive. I didn't read or hear about much outrage about that.

6. Indeed

This admiistration has given us a black eye.

[flashl]

7. Let the outrage begin ...

American Abu Ghraib

8. Amen

9. That's a VERY good point. I'll add that to my arsenal to use against these right-wing freaks.
