Terrorists torture, mutilate and kill our military that they capture.?

Question

And there are those who cry out against the method we imprison captured terroits. Whatever happened to an eye-for-an eye?

Answer 1

It's crazy isn't it? The so -called torture inflicted on our terrorist prisoners amounts to little more than a college hazing. Nick Berg undoubtedly suffered a good deal worse at the hands of his captors before they decapitated him.

Answer 2

The difference is that we CLAIM to be a civilized nation of laws. We also tell the world that in our country, we apply our laws equally to those on our soil.

They do not make such claims and feel no guilt about the way they treat those they capture.

If we decide to "change our minds" about what is lawful behavior, then we are no better than those terrorists. The other difference is that we have people in our prisons who have never been charged with any crimes or any wrongdoings. We have been imprisoning the innocent as well as the guilty. Among these, we include citizens of our own country.

The difference is that we should be ashamed of our behavior. That is what our parents taught us.

Answer 3

Thats what wrong with the western world today if we gave the terrorist no quarter immediaty exucuted them then there would be no terrorists Do you think the roman empire dealt with dissidents no they cuxified them and fought them in the areana People want to be nice and politcaly correct these days and it opens us up to further attack How you think saddam huesein was able to rule iraq byr killing those who oppesed him when dealing with islam and monkey people that is all they know and they will not respect you if you dont smash them with a iron fist. Take Iraq for example the dirty wogs are going nuts over there we got a **** load of troops over there and there blowing up **** everyday when sadam was president they did not dare do anything because they knew they would be killed brutaly and therfore respsected him through fear we need this same fear forget winning the hearts and minds american approach it did not work in vietnam and it damn sure wont work in Iraq they will never respect us for our dignity and humane actions so we should give them the sword and a stiff boot to the throat and then will the violence end in iraq and only then real simple logic

Answer 4

Those 11 terrorist groups have offered to stop the insurgency if the US plans to leave Iraq. And they have also offered a timeline of 2 years.

If your beloved father in Washington is so dedicated to the good of Iraq, why isn't he and his brethren considering this offer? Americans are occupiers and invaders of Iraq. If they fight back, more power to them.

And eye for an eye. Hey that's exactly what is being practised. But the US took the first eye. So they are the ones who are retaliating. If Iraq attacked the US and US retaliated then you could use your argument and it would make sense. I mean who was the f*cking aggressor?

Answer 5

The terrorists must be brought to justice. Period.
But at the same time the civilized world must not fall for the eye-for-an-eye philosophy. The said philosophy wouldnt be too bad if it were simply "the West" or "Christianity" vs. "Islam", we can just finish off all of them. But it is not. In case you guys have forgotten this is a war also of hearts and minds, in this case hearts and minds of Iraqis who want peace and freedom with the USA leaving them as friends, not as bitter enemies. The USA simply cannot win friends by becoming their worst enemies. Period.
IMHO this could be avoided if the USA takes no prisoners and just kills every terrorist they come across...no prisoners, no abuse and scandals. But information is needed by the USA to fight this war, so...

Answer 6

An eye for an eye was expressively not written into the constitution, seperation of church and state was. America is supposed to be above barbarism. We invaded Iraq on false pretenses, we are occupying it and attempting to install a puppet government.
The British called America's founding fathers terrorists and said exactly what you just said about the Iraqis who are fighting against occupation, whose side would you have been on then?

Answer 7

Because we're in their ******* country! They're the only ones who actually have a right to be fighting. We're foreigners on THEIR land. Then again, you can't go around preaching all this democracy, and God fearing upstanding Christian nation bullshit and still go around murdering and torturing people. It only makes us seem even more horrible than the so called bad guys, the terrorists. We consider ourselves better yet we still sink to their level. Lastly, wise man once said, and eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

Answer 8

Your question is understandable here is an answer......We are more civilized than they are when it comes to the treatment of people in that kind of situation. We have INTERNATIONAL laws that govern what we may or may not do to people we have in our custody. (They do not abide by that set of laws). Yes there are people that have broken that law on our part but they are also getting a punishment for those actions. If we were to do eye for an eye there would never be peace even in our homes. All we can do is put those families that have lost someone in our prayers and hope that they are proud of what their loved one died for. Thank you for your concern about our troops out there.

Answer 9

Eye-for-an-Eye died a long time ago. Ever since the birth of left- wing liberal propa-BS... Eye-for-an-Eye is not humane.... America is supposed to set the example and be"good" and respectful... even when our own people get tortured and murdered by the people we give decent treatment too when we capture them.... I don't know.... It can only get better... or...it can get worse... Next it'll be "You killed an American, What would you like for dinner?"

Answer 10

"Hillbillies" lives in a very different world from the rest of us, doesn't he?

There is no relationship between beheadings and mutliation ... and putting women's underwear on a prisoner's head.

What we did at Abu Ghraib and anything being done at Guantanamo cannot be termed torture. Period.

Perhaps "Hillbillies" would like us to ask the terrorists real, real nice to pretty please tell us where the nuke is being delivered in the United States?

Maybe we should tell these guys who have sworn to kill all infidels and unbelievers ... and want martyrdom ... that if they don't tell us, "we'll be miffed"?

Apparently, "Hillbillies" and his ilk are willing to risk the loss of hundreds of thousands of American lives over being polite?

My suggestion is: whatever it takes.
