<<There have been two reactions to the murder. The first is that this is the price we pay when we meddle in the affairs of other nations. We inflame passions and we shouldn't be surprised that those passions spill over in horrifying ways. With the abuse at Abu Ghraib, we lost the moral high ground and provoked murder. On the other side are those who argue that we are at war and that the abuse at Abu Ghraib is simply a pretext for murder. They hated us before Abu Ghraib; they hate us after. To view the murder of Nicholas Berg as morally equivalent to a few rogue Americans who tormented prisoners is absurd. Which view is correct?>> Funny thing about this is that more people don't see that both can be largely correct.
