Evil is still evil, whether they do it to us, or we do it to them. One would hope as adults we were beyond the silly playground excuse of "But he did it first!" Two wrongs simply do not make right. If our government began the wholesale slaughter that some of you seem to want the entire civilised world would quickly turn against us. I truly hope there is no one arrogant or stupid enough to believe that US against the entire world would be a good thing.
Steffan is not a terrorist, Andrew is not a terrorist, and yet they have received a great deal of venom, and mis-directed anger from the people on this board in the name of "patriotism". Quite a bit of what I have seen here is NOT patriotism, but rather blood-lust wrapped in a flag. Much the same behavior we are cursing the Islamic fundamentalists for.
I feel shamed by some of the behavior demonstrated here. The world IS watching, and judging, whether we like it or not.
