Thank you for reading this post Philip and for your comment. I must respectfully disagree. There are credible reports of abuse and torture of women and children at the hands the American government (see Seymour Hersh's speech below), cases of US soldiers raping and killing innocent civilians (before the courts today), and US-led bombings on innocent civilians still continue in Afghanistan and Iraq. I do hope that you feel sympathy for these people. If more people care, then maybe we can stop it. If you don't care about human rights for all, then who should care about human rights for you? http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article6492.htm Seymour Hersh: "Some of the worst things that happened that you don’t know about. OK? Videos. There are women there. Some of you may have read that they were passing letters out, communications out to their men. This is at [Abu Ghraib], which is about 30 miles from Baghdad — 30 kilometers, maybe, just 20 miles, I'm not sure whether it's — anyway. The women were passing messages out saying please come and kill me because of what’s happened. And basically what happened is that those women who were arrested with young boys, children, in cases that have been [video] recorded, the boys were sodomized, with the cameras rolling, and the worst above all of them is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking. That your government has, and they’re in total terror it’s going to come out. It’s impossible to say to yourself, how did we get there, who are we, who are these people that sent us there."
