Re: A few thoughts about the latest scandal.
A POW is a threat. They are excess baggage that you will now have to look after, at the same time you are watching your back. Not to mention that they may now be nuetralized, but what happens later when you have to release them back into the public? I was really ticked off when I heard the American troops were letting Iraqi soldiers throw down uniforms and weapons and walk home. WALK HOME TO SCHOOLS AND MOSQUES STOCK PILED WITH WEAPONS IN WHICH TO SHOOT AMERICANS IN THE BACK WITH! Come one. Where is the intelegence in that move?<br /><br />No, they should not be rapped and murdered. Interogation is needed, and there is a line that should be drawn. However, war is a very nasty business. And yes I feel that it should be avoided if possible. There is so much that goes on, you can't expect people to not be humans in such a chaotic environment. The enemey is going to get treated bad no matter what side you find yourself on. Taking pictures is really stupid in my opinion. This isn't a field trip to slap someone in the face. This is a response to a REAL deadly opposition. <- Note I did not say threat. <br /><br />I know it seems I get carried away at times. But I can't just sit back and let someone have free oportunities to take shots at me, my family, my friends, and my fellow humans. They attacked because they are unable to engage in proper dialog. This says alot about them. They want us dead. Period. They have no politically correct tolerance speaches from their peers, telling them that they should accept the westerners. They have self proclaimed clerics saying "KILL THE AMERICANS". How much more plainly can this be said?<br /><br />Yes there are factions with in America that will now go on a witch hunt. This is really very bad for us all. We all know that those involved will have to be disciplined. However, the media does not need to have their nose in it. The media should show some respect and bow out of this one.
