I do think something like this would have happened had the press not uncovered our abuse of the Iraqui prisoners. But that doesn't make what we are doing any less wrong.
This is probably the scariest war, because we are seeing all of its effects on television, through the internet, and we are hearing about them via satellite. All wars are awful, but this shows the true outcome of war- death- and it puts a face to the many thousands of names.
If we don't change something soon, what is to stop them from coming over here and doing to us what we are doing to them? I understand that literally, we have an army to stop them, but we have been fortunate as a country (I am not sure if that is the right word- fortunate) to have very few wars on our own land. I hope that our luck with that does not run out.
Sorry, but this war shit scares me, so I needed to rant. And the actions seen today need to be some sort of an indicator to our leaders- shit or get off the pot.
