(62,325 posts)hated? Maybe if the DID hold torturers accountable we would be LESS hated and there would be FEWER hostages to protect.
We run around the world talking about how 'superior' we are to all those lesser people in the ME and Africa, our FP are so racist and so ignorant it is EMBARRASSING. And then we do things that no civilized nation would do and people outside this insulated bubble we live in, are not blind.
We've killed over one million human beings. Do you think they don't know that? And we've tortured and maimed until numbers of innocent people. Do you think THEY don't know that?
And our excuse beginning with the war criminal Bush gang for not holding War Criminals accountable has ALWAYS BEEN 'National Security'..
I remember how we attacked the Bush gang and mocked them for the use of National Security as their excuse for everything.
Justice needs to be done and we keep finding excuses for not doing it. There is never going to be a good time to punish these war criminals. But as of now it is already LATE as they have been protected for so long.
Taking responsibility, admitting the crimes, would go a long to changing the perception in other countries that the US is heartless, cruel and doesn't hole their own war criminals accountable. While we preach to the rest of the world.
If you think that anything in that report isn't well known to the people who were the victims of it, you are just plain wrong. The world knows the crimes committed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Pakistan, Libya and everywhere else we attacking countries that we have no business attacking.
