In a strange way, I was interested in seeing what was on the video, however, I can't bring myself to watch it as I know how it will effect me. I don't think that there is any issue with others watching it...you can't shy away from the truth.
What really scares me is that even in some of the more westernized areas of the middle east (UAE, etc) there are cab drivers and people on the streets saying that this "is a good thing" and that every american should expect that more is coming their way....
This kind of hatred is just plain scary. The abuses by the US soldiers were shocking, however, they were probably a damn good way of getting information out of guilty parties. The US's poistion was seriously undermined and its reputation severly damaged...I dont know how the hell we are going to stabilise Iraq without the help of other nations.
And, Daniel Berg was in Iraq looking for work...the US apparently detained him for 13 days on his way around...My question is, how the hell did he get in in the first place?? Without the correct documents he should have never been allowed into a warzone...
