Searle, re:spengler <the Spanish Inquisition...People do nasty things not because they are negligent or bloody-minded, but rather because they cannot avoid doing them. That is why we call such things tragic. Spain's inquisitors were not the horror-movie sadists of popular myth, but sad little functionaries seeking to prevent the sort of religious war that plagued Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries.> Perhaps the same for the american prison guards at Abu Ghraib. Merely seeking to prevent an iraqi civil war which would be such a humanitarian disaster (not to mention how it might interfere with the flow of oil).
