Sure, they were evil, but these images are disturbing and immoral.

And it's beneath us, it's the equivalent of putting heads on pikes or us doing the medieval practice of putting the bodies of the executed out on display (In reality, that's exactly what we are doing).

Is this how low we have sunk in Bush's America? If we have, then I don't want to a part of it anymore.

And you know what? That's what the al-Qaeda are saying too! There aren't many differences between right-wingers and Islamists after all...

and you wouldn't want to, where would you live? many stateless people end up spending their lives in detention centers or refugee camps because they have no right to live in any country

3. Right After Saddam Was Captured,

Although I avoid politics at home, I blurted out "I am ashamed to live in this country." Somehow I think the mood has changed, but still...
