Please get a grip. The torture of Iraqi prisoners was done by only a few bad apples. This is not the character of america. We don't do that kind of stuff to other people. These bad apples need to be dealt with, and all will be right again. This was nothing more than an isolated incident. It only happened once and it won't happen again.

We are always the good guys. The guys in the white hats. We don't torture people, we don't act like animals. Even if those prisioners deserve it, we are so high minded and moral, that we would never tolerate such abuse.

When we have to kill Iraqis, it's not really killing. It's liberating them. It doesn't matter if we are killing more Iraqis than Saddam, we have a perfectly legitimate reason for doing so, Saddam did not. In fact, it hurts us more than the Iraqis to have to kill them.

We are good. America is always good. We help people all the time. We don't do anything in our self-interest. It's only other countries that do that.
