M Perhaps it would be easier for you to understand my outrage if you saw the pictures. You ponder the question that it may be in the US or the world's best interest to "enthusiastically support development of International law and civilization" yet realistically, no amount of International law would have prevented what took place yesterday. My post isn't about who commits the most atrocities in war it is about the absolute inhumane way in which this atrocity is being used to inflame the Arab street. It is about how many seem to be enthusiastically embracing the lack of human standards, ethics and principles on the backs of the mutilated dead. I think that I can positively predict what the reaction would be had it been the US committing this act, but instead of outrage directed at the guilty we hear how the United States is guilty of war atrocities too. If you wish to argue this issue we could look at our history and analyze how any illegal behavior has been dealt with, but where in the world is there an individual or government that condemns this act? Where are the articles that damn these animals? This kind of behavior cannot be free. Rearding making public the results of this sick act ignores all levels of morality. It is a moral issue governed by the law of mankind. He can write as many laws as he likes, but they will not prevent one man determined to kill another man yet here we see that there is little if any public indignation, and I find that quite troubling. Perhaps facing that reality first and acting unilaterally, as a whole to ostracize those who choose to employ these kinds of tactics is possible? In fact that is exactly what the coalition of the willing seem to be doing to the regime of Saddam Hussien and his band of brutal thugs. M
