Here it is Mike: I'm on the Left, and I despise Islamist nutjobs. Hate their guts. Hope they die. Total religious fanatic idiots. Vile murders. You happy? I said it, and believe it. What the hell does that have to do with US people torturing human beings? In contravention of all law and decency? Without a clue about guilt or innocence? And, Chucky, here in the glorious US of A we execute underage criminals who are legally classified as CHILDREN for all purposes save our death penalty laws. Of course, we give them lethal injections instead of cutting their heads off (I defy you to show, knowing what we know of the time it takes for lethal injection to work, that one is somehow a vastly superior way to kill someone than the other). And by the way, the oldest democracy is Iceland, not the US. For someone obviously on the Right, I'm surprised that you are such a Relativists--I thought that some things were moral, others immoral, and never the twain shall meet? Like all conservative phonies, you invoke all these "eternal truths" until you want to punish or kill some darker fellows, then all your universal principles dive out the window.
