"If we stop doing pole dance routines for their prisoners, maybe they can stop chopping off the fucking heads of ours! "
I'm not a big fan of comparison as a method of figuring who's behavior is moral. I think the whole idea of comparitive Morality is a dead end.
Based on that argument we could still gouge out their eyes and cut off their ears and retain the moral high ground.
When I talk about how much they hate us, I'm thinking of potential future head cutter offers. Some kid who might decide maybe the crazy ass mullah screaming at the Mosque was right about us because it turns out that when we capture them we have near naked women smearing prisoners who may not even be guilty of anything and hve never been charged with menstrual blood.
Plus, how about a little cost benefit analysis here? "Hmmmm. Them naked pyramid photos got out, and that was pretty bad for our side. What would happen if opur Menstrul Blood interogation technique somehow got to the media? Thank god it's not physically possible that could ever happen, otherwise this might be a really, really dumb idea."
Think anyone will get fired for this one? maybe w should find out who's idea it was so W can give them a presidentail medal of freedom.
Kev, baby, I know you're doing the whole devils advocate type thing, but seriously, this has nothing to do with the way terrorisst wage war. My problem with our downaward spiral should not be seen as an endorsement of head cutter offers. But my tax dollars don't funbd head cutting offing and my citizenship isn't a tacit endorsement of head cutting offing.
It's all very wierd because, me personally, I think dropping lots of bombs on people is a stain on the concept of America, even if some of them do really bad stuff to us first. I don't know how you avoid it, but I do think it's very, very. very bad for us that mostly we think it's a football game. I think clusterbombs and Land Mines and other indescriminmate munitions are intended to be terrorism and that's a big old stain on America. This little Menstrual Blood morality play is so minor comopared to that shit, but I feel as if there ought to be common ground here. I feel as if even the most hawkish ought to know that stacking prisoners in naked pyramids and making them think we're defiling them with menstrual blood is beneath us as Americans, it stains us, it makes us bad people. I feel like we all ought to agree on that, and I feel like any leader who didn't want to get to the bottom of shit like this and make it stop, well, that leader is no longer someone who just disagrees with me politically, that leader is a great big bag of shit.
