Oh, cry me a river. Boo-hoo-hoo. You've obviously never spend your times in the Chinese prisons, Iranian prisons, or some of the worst prisons around
the world where people are being kept in the wrong, horrible conditions of all kinds. At least American prisoners seem to be better off than the rest.
Those poor, unfortunate little boo-boo prisoners at Gitmo are being kept there for one good reason: they are Islamic terrorists who have been more or
less involved with al Qaeda network. Think they can be better off by releasing them to the world and count on their good behaviors for the rest of
their lives?
I actualy do lose sleep over these issues, as I do get watery eyed when I realize how the silence and indifference of world leaders in regards to
these grotesque human rights violations. Do remember, like you, I'm only human, but obviously unlike you, I consider myself a member of a
global society and pay no patrioism to a sole flag; I give hommage to humanity, as I'm sure most humanists like myself will concur
themselves.
America has lauded itself as the sole precentor of human rights, democracy, freedom and liberties across this greed Earth, as they have acknowledged
countless treaties barring the use of inhuman tactics against POW's. You cannot champion yourself as such and then hand over suspects to countries
where torture is not outlawed, correct?
Principle, my freind, principle. America has lost it's principle, instead, economics success has become the new catalyst for this society,
individualism it's motif, and collectivism it's mortal enemy.
The difference between you and General Patton is that General Patton was far more realistic and brutally honest about life than you. At least you're
living comfortable and cozy right now thanks to the Allies' victory over the Nazis and you can thank General Patton for his sheer drive to push the
Allies to shoot that "paper-hanging SOB" in Berlin!
This is not the 1940's, or did you forget that? Do remember, we are living in a global society far more interdependent. What may transpire from a
global superpower, positive or negative, could have severe ramnifications for a third world country. Realism is the realization that self-interest
must be disregarded for the collective interest and securty, not blind patrioism over spurious wars.
