The Dark Side

I belive the real point here is one we were versed in during kindergarden, two wrongs don't make a right. Our current policies toward radical Islam are a self furfilling prophesy. They strike us for being "devils", we torture them and become devils. Can anyone win that kind of war? "All men are created equal.." only counts when we agree? How many lives will be plundered before common sense prevails?

Maybe if the congress voted to remove the security detail from the exectutive branch, we might end up with a president that worked very, very hard, to ensure our security with out envoking war powers or abusing our reputation as a freedom loving country.
