Relativism effects us all it seems. Free speach is a sacred right in the US unless someone speaks something you disagree with, then that person is a traitor. Rapist and murderers are animals that deserved thier conviction. Unless that 14 year old girl and her family were Americans living in say Texas, instead of Iraqis in a war zone. Then those soldiers' sentence would seem a bit light. Torture is dispicable, unless it is used by "the good guys" then it is an ugly tool that must be used. Actions that result in the death of innocents are terrible, terrible, things that should emote nothing but feelings of disgust, unless those actions are performed by "the good guys." Then those resulting deaths are just unfortunate side effects.
Until more people wake the hell up, edecate themselves, and actively oppose any actions, by any country, agency, or personel that aren't moral then we will be forever caught in the loop of hatred and violence. It is correct to look upon the murders committed by Islamic radicials with disgust. Murder is a disgusting act. However, if you look upon the murder and rape of an Iraqi girl and her family with any less disgust or revulsion than you do those actions of your enemy, then you should really examine why. In the Quran it says that the murder of an innocent is the same in severety as the genocide of the entire human race. Interesting sentiment since this is the book many of you blame as the source of the radicals you hate so much. See how ironic it is?
