-- Michael Kalus:
he [Saddam] is shown and "paraded" on TV (and don't tell me he wasn't because showing a man in his state, showing how he gets examined is clearly an attempt to "break the morale").

Secondly; It is being overly sensitive about the feelings of those poor fragile souls that hate us and seek to murder us, that got us into this trouble. Our enemies take it for weakness, reasonably enough. [...]
As Bin laden said slaughtering the occupants of the twin towers made them look strong: : : "when people see a strong horse and a weak : : horse, by nature, they will like the strong : : horse."
Michael Kalus:
It is almost astonishing to hear arguments like these. You (and people who make these arguments) sound like the kid who gets smacked after burning down the house and then starting to cry and call foul.
I see: So when the US army is so unkind as to film Saddam acting submissive, this is a shocking violation of his human rights, and your bleeding heart feels for him deeply. But when, however, people fly a plainload of passengers into two tall buildings and murder thousands, those dreadful Americans had it coming, were justly smacked like a naughty child, and have no right to get indignant. --digsig James A.
