You say American Soldiers are \"below humanity\", and what do I get as proof, \"kinda not nice photo\'s\" and some other random posts about Abu Ghraib.
Read my post then. There is your proof. Or go to Amnesty International and read their Yearly report on the U.S. (Its avaliable from their website).
What kind of interigation should we use on combatants? Of all the horrors that humans have done to each other, why are the ones that the US does, more criminal than what every one else does.
What the U.S does to its prisioners is no worse then what Sadaam Hussien did, granted. But Sadaam Hussien is being held for war crimes and will most probablly be sentenced to death for what he did.
What country *has* complied with UN rules? None, so why should we be any different.
This is an ignorant, stupid view. You are saying that because everyone breaks some rule, then you should be allowed to do what you want? True, nearly all countries have broken some rules at some point-
but they are all subseqently critisied for it, and in some cases, the Governments are deposed and the leaders sentenced. Furthermore, there are very few countries that are accused of such serious crimes as contravening the Geneva Convention, UN Convention against Torture and the UN Declaration on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, to name a few. The U.S invaded Iraq on the pretext of disposing of a regime that had committed crimes against humanity against the people of Iraq (since the WMD charge was false), and so to say \"Well they did It so we can\" is just ridiculous.
I am not suggesting that We get a free pass on human rights.
On the contrary, you
are saying that you should get a free pass on human rights. Your previous paragraph said \"What country *has* complied with UN rules? None, so why should we be any different. \" You just said that your country should be \"no different\" in not having to comply with UN rules. UN rules cover human rights. You are, effectivly suggesting with that statement, that the Human rights abuses of the U.S be overlooked. I do not think the Human Rights abuses of
any country should be overlooked, regardless of wether \"everybody else is doing it\" (which they aren\'t).
What I would like to see is an end to the wild overstated acusations flung at the USA like monkey poo from wild caged monkeys.
And i\'d like to see an end to the ridiculous attempts at justifying the wrongdoings of some people in the american administration and army. But it obviously isnt going to happen.
