Huh? Bush is unleashing Hell on the Arab world. He is a monster. And you quote Rousseau out of context to cover your inane appreciation of the monster? Whatever you were trying to convey in that last post is lost on me, and I'm pretty rational. Your post seems quite insane. Those soldiers who are torturing the local population.... they are Christian Fascists out to steal resources and humiliate and impoverish the local population. Surely you cannot see justice in this. Surely, or am I wrong?

My logic on "TORTURED, ABUSED AND HUMILIATED story and why I wrote this..Rousseau's sublime paradox still holds: "Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains. Bush is helping break those chains.. If an act of individual or bunch of US soldiers is condemned by the highest office of the land that shows to me that state is not the part of the crime, wanton acts of aggressions by individual do not constitute part of state policy as far as those soldiers who commit excesses are court-martialed and brought to justice the system clears itself from condemnation, the problem with very same people who highlight these acts as war against mankind accept the leaderships whose only preoccupation was to deal with people like that, the system that allowed persecution big time and no remorse of any kind is indicated, enemies of Arafat are lynched to death in summary justice, Saddam had a filed day ion his people, Gaddafi and Assad are known criminals as far as action against their own people is concerned, here in a single incident everyone wants to take cheap shots, it is condemnable to treat people like this but individual acts cannot be constituted as state policy the way White House condemned these actions portray to me that the President is sincere in implementing a human based programmer of change.
