The difference between "civility" in war and being barbarians.

[Postman]

to excuse what that marine did in the mosque is to accept that what those Iraqis did to those "private contractors" on the bridge in Fallujah was acceptable.

The difference has to be that a crime is held to account otherwise we are no better than "the evil-doers" (God I hate that term)

1. proper way to decapitate=cluster bombs

enemy dressed in civilian clothing, therefore all civilians are barbarians who want to fly planes into towers and must be killed

2. I disagree with you...

What that Marine did was less barbaric than what those Iraqis did.

Althought thats all relative since all war is barbaric.

3. In other words, It's OK if we do it, but

not the Iraqi's defending their country from foreign invaders whose leader think the Geneva Convention is quaint?

4. that's right. The marines are white and christian.

It's OK when we do it.
