We need to not commit torture because we are virtuous.
Because we believe all people are create equal.
We are an advanced civil nation, that is far enough down the path to know better.
Because we are America, the beacon of light.
Let us not torture because the law does not allow it. Let us not torture because it is wrong, and we are wearing the white hats. Being virtuous takes guts and is hard to do,

Torture needs to be done to the Bushes and Cheneys first so they can get a good taste of it and understand why it is wrong to do it to other people !!!

Also, these terrorist attacks HAVE NOT been going on a long time... for the most part they extend back only to 1947 (the foundation of Israel) and in all reality it wasn't until the late 60's that the Palestinian extremists started attacking people outside of Israel, and it wasn't until the early 80's that it became endemic.
