agilebritI'm going to say something controversial again.
With all the news about the abuse of the Iraqi prisoners, and the reaction to it, the difference between us and the Islamo-fascists has never been clearer:
We find out that some of our soldiers are abusing (not torturing--there's a difference) prisoners, and the self-flagellation never ceases. There are calls for Rumsfeld to resign, for full-scale investigations, and on, and on, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
They fly airplanes into buildings, or kill a pregnant Israeli woman and her four daughters...and there's dancing in the streets and praise for the perpetrators.
Yes. There is us, and there is them...and we're better than they are.
