A More Mature Response to 9-11

Some people have argued that we should have simply tried to deal with Al Qaeda through "police work" -- arresting terrorists when we found them, and not attacking Afghanistan. And certainly not Iraq. So I'm going to speculate how this would have worked.

But at least nobody would be complaining about Abu Ghraib, because there'd be no American jailers putting prisoners in embarassing poses. Instead, Saddam's goons would be raping their relatives and feeding the prisoners into plastic-shredders, which is for some reason that I can't quite grasp morally not as objectionable.

This is what bugs me the most. All the morally repugnant things done by Saddam and Islamic terrorists, and all some people can do is point to all the perceived injustices committed by America. It's very aggravating.

I agree! It makes no reasonable sense, other than the perceived 'it's PC to hate America!' movement of thought I see spreading through the world / the US.

Which makes absolutely ZERO sense to me!

It makes sense to me.

Who do the PETA jerks beat up, the little old ladies in fur, or the biker gang? They choose the one that won't kill them....

Because Fear Breeds Respect.

Sadly.
