US forces to stop humiliating Iraqis they arrest so they won't hate us

[Rowdyboy]

Duh....We suddenly understand they don't like to be handcuffed, have their heads bagged, be thrown on the ground and stepped on in front of their families and neighbors? And you say that they resented us for doing things like that?

The level of ignorance in this administration is mind-boggling...

1. This is the product of a poorly led military. It's exactly like Vietnam.

Why in the name of God we can't teach GIs to respect the people they're supposedly there to help is absolutely beyond my comprehension.

2. If we want to be seen as liberators, we have to live the part....

It just so totally counter-productive that its hard to believe...You don't need a degree in psychology to know that treating people with respect gets better results than humiliating them.

3. yeah, that'll do it

the stupidity of THIS country's people is mind-boggling!

4. That article implies the US soldiers will still blindfold people

they arrest, just not in front of their families.

5. Sorry, it's too late. They will hate us forever.

You just don't stop hating the people who invade your country, kill your parents or children and humiliate the rest.

6. Nope, not at this stage...as an Iraqi in the article says...

"Too little, too late..."
