>You're entitled to your child-like view of things. MY child-like view of things? You're the one that thinks that because a handful of people does something bad to us, we can lock away a million people for life just because they are the same color or are from the same part of the world as those people. That's child-like. -Z

Inode, > I may be a shithead but I believe in putting America first. That all depends on what your definition of "putting America first" is. Interning thousands of Japanese-Americans during WWII might have been the "right thing to do" at the time, but in hindsight it was unnecessary and unjust. Likewise, I don't approve of what happened at Abu Ghraib, I don't approve of waterboarding, and I don't agree with the legal limbo in which we stick POWs in the war on terrorism. But to claim that Gitmo is just as bad as a Nazi concentration camp or a Siberian gulag is crazy. We need a little perspective here. Tenchusatsu
