I'm all for vengeance right about now. :shrug

So was the crowd that burned and mutilated those four people.

The only reason you'd stop at putting bullets in their heads is because the center of your faith doesn't paint them as war-mongering infidels.

(Shit, the more I think about it, the more I agree with the fucking Iraqis on this issue.)

EDIT: Nevermind.

Firstly, the issue of faith for me is irrelevant. If you to talk about a sense of social morality common to most of us in this country, then I guess I take your point. At the same time, the Muslim faith is not inherently violent or disrespectful to the dead. In fact, one of the greater sins in the Muslim world is desecrating the dead and one of the foulest areas of the body, to them, is the feet ... and they were beating our dead with their shoes. Yes, it tells us that THOSE outer-fringe fanatics hate us in the extreme but it does not speak for the Muslim religion. I have just as much of a hate-on for the Shiite leaders of those people who should know better and lead their people to such things as this for their own benefit as I do for out local Bible-misinterpreting panhandlers of the airwaves we have right here in our own country.

That's not what I'm saying, Brandon.
I'm just saying that killing for vengence is killing for vengence.
It's black and white as far as intent goes, wrath is wrath.

I'm targeting kellychaos's posts here, nothing more.

they act like uncivilized animals, they should be treated as such.

Yes yes, leading into the joke about them needing to be taken back as slaves and pets, then eventually being able to vote.

no joke. The ones dragging the corpses around should be treated like the animals they are...by no means punish the entire Iraqi population, or Muslim for that matter....the criminals who killed and mutilation those men...regardless of their nationality and the ones who should be punished.

Exactly, those people and the leaders who got them into such a lather ... not the general populace. It's sort of like the way the missle program worked as a deterent for years. When people know that evil acts will be returned, more or less in kind, they are less likely to commit such acts ... especially if caught and handled in an efficient and timely manner. The more we let them get away with such acts of aggression over time, the more we are the laughing stock of the rest of the muslim world and will increasingly be maligned, attacked and thought of an weak, ineffective push-overs and it only gets worse for our troops from there. Since we're already involved, we need to get a handle on it. There's simply no turning back now. That would be like saying that the lives lost so far were for naught and I wouldn't want THAT resting in the minds of the families of those military members.
