propaganda Dehumanize the enemy, so you can kill and violate the enemy without compunction. Of course that is why I totally dislike the dehumanization of people for political differences- because it also encourages a total separation of the "enemy" from what is human- as KLP did when mentioning that those KLP politically disagrees with, are somehow associated with Hitler. Very nasty ideas kicking around here, imo.

Any "creature" who even thinks of putting another human into a "shredder" feet first, or head first....is not human, IMO. Totally unbelieveable that you would think so.

<<This is how you gloat over pictures of Their dead, while being outraged when they do the same thing to Our dead. >> No gloating, just proof they are dead and their fighters can quit fighting.

nationalreview.com To rebut these allegations, let's note that in Afghanistan, U.S. forces captured terrorist elements and followed the terms of the Geneva Convention. They haven't filmed al Qaeda and Taliban fighters in close-ups with bullets in their heads. It's one thing for the media to film dead fighters and soldiers in the battlefield, quite another to film and broadcast corpses in the custody of the Iraqi regime. It's one thing to show prisoners before and as they are arrested, quite another to film an interrogation session in which subjects are humiliated. The American forces' handling of irregular militias in Afghanistan exceeded the requirements of the Geneva Convention; the Iraqis' treatment of our troops has flouted it. oops what was that about showing close ups with bullet holes? "The constant replay of the graphic images on Sunday was a flagrant violation of the Geneva Convention. " hmmmmmm
