Quote: There are people in Iraq that are happy to have freedom; to not have to worry about Saddam getting a bug up his as$ to kill or rape someone. Saddam killed hundreds of thousands of people during his tyranical reign. Put things in perspective before you cry foul on what American soldiers did.
No, buddy, I think it's you who needs to put things into perspective...
You're saying that because someone did something worse what the soldiers did was okay; or at the very least, we should ignore it 'because someone else did something worse'.
So two wrongs do make a right now. Well. I wish I would've known that before.
Just because I sit here 'crying foul' over what the American soldiers did doesn't mean I didn't/don't do the exact same thing over what Hussein was doing.
Quote: P.S. Oh and right now on Fox News there is an interview with an Iraqi citizen who got out of Iraq before Saddam telling America (I quote) "Wake up, stop worrying so much about the prisoner abuse scandals and put it into perspective..." "These prison abuse scandals have only given them some kind of rationalization to commit these murders..." Exactly what I and a few others have been saying for a while now... -Nick
Okay... Haven't seen anyone disagree with that here.
That doesn't degrade what the soldiers did one damn bit though.
Granted, but there should be at least of modicum of understanding in the world that these were the acts of a few who did not follow their training and do not in any way represent what the US is trying to accomplish in Iraq.

There are no stupid questions.
There are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.
