We as a people and supposedly the greatest country cannot treat another's culture and belief's less than our own.
While chopping off a head is severe in any culture, it is no better or worse than what we did. True we may not have killed anyone but we did torture them mentally and physically and that is not something to be sarcastic about.
Mental torture can be worse than any death torture as those men may relive that torture every day for the rest of their lives. Is that any worse than killing them? Do they deserve that fate anymore than Berg deserved to be beheaded?
I am in no way condoning what happened to Berg, I just think to make light of the torture we gave the Iraqi prisoners is just as bad. But what's worse is the attitudes of some who do not see the torture as being truly evil and making things so much worse for all of humanity.
If the tables were turned perhaps you would understand.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
