    Andrew is reviewing a movie Mikes and Victoria

    Why does he need to say whether he was shaking with rage at the murder of Americans? That makes no sense. He is reviewing a movie that documents US abuses of prisoners, many of whom are completely innocent. I think all Americans are horrified by the banality of evil that Islamic terrorists have shown, but does that evil not allow us to be disgusted and rage filled when our own government engages in acts that embarrass us across this world, make us less safe, and that have resulted in the deaths of innocent civilians and more than 3,300 American troops?

    The logic that Andrew cannot be rage filled by our government's actions because Americans have been beheaded is the manifestation of insipid, logic-adverse minds
