I'm not saying that their rights should be taken away, but I think that they should be held acountable for their actions in a way that grants the person or people that have been violated equally... we have people down in cuba that may or may not be guilty of terrorisim, but they are being held in dog cages and are being treated like garbage..We have had a few people in Abu gharib prison treat their captives like they were chunks of meat, totally disreguarding any sorts of rights that the iqaqi detainees were entitled to. Will those people be punnished?? yes by our courts, but rest assured they will be given a slap on the wrist at best.
Our country seems to have the attitude that our beliefs are better than everyone else, our god is better than the muslim's Alah, and that our way is the only way. I think thats wrong. I think that the world would be more harmonious if we didnt play the role of the global bully. Leave that to the UN, that is why it was created...if you think about it, the UN is a democratic voting system, while we make global desicions like Bush is the king of the world.. Thats kind of Hypocritical dont you think?? Here we are saying we're spreading democracy to the land of tyrany and then we thumb our nose at the democratic process created to avoid pointless wars.
And we wonder why every other country in our world hates us?
