153. Who instituted our laws that put people to death? You speak as if we were so civilized

George Bush probably got a lot of his support from people who were so proud of his record of executions, but the rest of the world was horrified, and even Clinton who flew back home to put a mentally ill man to death, was one of our party.

Who instituted the laws here that allowed our military and contractors and CIA to around the world torturing people, sometimes to death, to horribly rape women AND children?

Please, we are in no position to criticize anyone. Talk that way when Muslims are invading other people's countries and slaughtering hundreds of thousands of their men, women and children, and torturing them and destroying their historic artifacts and treating them 'like dogs' as General Miller said. And when we no longer fry people in our death chambers, and we no longer run a gulag like Gitmo.

And no, they would NOT have bothered with us had WE not interfered in their affairs, in their choice of leaders, such as in Iraq when we installed Saddam Hussein and killed their very moderate and decent leader condemning themto decades of rule by US backed dictator.

The bigotry that underlies our foreign invasions and policies, the ignorance of other cultures, is simply stunning .

You talk about them as if they are barbaric when nothing could be further from the truth. Yes, they have their fundies, but FYI a vast majority of people in Iraq, in Jordan and elsewhere, do not like their fundies anymore than we like ours.

Imagine if the world judged us by Timothy McVeigh or Pat Robertson. Or George Bush.

We wanted their stuff. They did not come and take ours and I am surprised, considering the interference in their affairs, that it took so long before something happened.

The sheer arrogance we display, is stunning. It's okay for us to tear their countries apart, to murder and rape their women and children, and then point the finger at them. THIS is the attitude that creates whatever hatred there is.
