Being informed has it's merits.
Anyway you must have really struggled through theory class. You're knee jerk reaction is to assume I was writing off the tortures as hazing the way Rush, and many Conservatives have, because well, if you use the same language, you must be the same stripe, even if you're saying something totally different. If we're talking arrogance, h'bout your "with us or against us" attitude ? Why, I'd say it's rather GW of you.
Now that we've exhuasted the topic of me and my personality defects (because after all kids, this is a message board, and I'm not prone to spending time at your Mocker jamborees, or giving you love advice in the other forums) why don't we discuss the Iraqi's again? You know, not to be informative or nothing but....
4,000 prisoners died in Abu Ghraib prison in 1984 alone. 122 political prisoners were killed in one month of 2000. Around 130 women were beheaded between June and April of 2001. Friday prayer for Sh'ites was illegal, and the majority of torture victims were from the religious party.
So Burbank.... what was that bullshit you were saying at the beginning of this post about people caring, the writing of books, and Amnesty International? Unlike Conservatives, I'm not saying Saddam's actions excuse our own. I don't want to see the US acting in even the slightest resemblance of Saddam's torture houses, (they should be closed and destroyed, not preserved like Warsaw) but I do think you need a wake up call if you're going to act like you give a shit, because this moral equivalency of yours comes off as souless pandering.
