THEY ARENT IN THE PRISON BECAUSE THEY'RE TERRORISTS, BUT BECAUSE THEY'RE ENEMY COMBATANTS. Is that hard to understand? They werent blowing up cars, they werent sucide bombing, they werent trying to do any of this, they were defending their country. Maybe some in there our terrorists. Maybe if our government would afford them some basic rights, they'd have trials and we'd find out.
Would you put yourselves in their shoes for a bit? First of all, I was refering to both Iraq and Afghanistan, since you're constantly doing the same. Secondly, in their minds, their government was right. And they hated the US. You're not being honest or not thinking it through if you say that you wouldnt support your government against an invading force. Try thinking like they do, right or wrong.Yeah why not, especially if it was a governmant like the Taliban. Who didnt respect womans rights, largely corrupt, and we bombed them because Osama was there. Yet we didnt get Osama... Besides that the infrastructure, there was no infrastructure, when almost like 90% of the people lay in poverty.
Yes, terrorists are bad. They're wrong, and they're sick. But doing things like putting chips in their bodies and violating their basic human rights makes us just as bad. Nic Berg wouldnt have been beheaded if America hadnt invaded Iraq, right? And he probably wouldnt have if the things in Abu Grave (or however it's spelled) hadnt gone on. But regardless, by we as a people turning around and violating human rights because our 'enemy' did so first... not only is it childish, it's sick and twisted.
If we cant treat people with basic respect and compassion, then we have no moral leg to stand on.
