I was just watching 48 Hours Mystery. This was about a man who served in Iraq, came home, and beat a woman he was fighting with to death with his bare hands. He attempted to justify his case saying he was psychologically damaged because of the war. I understand this, not that it justifies anything. Anyway, while he was talking about it, he was explaining something that happened in Iraq. Apparently, there was an Iraqi man who was suspected of some sort of malicious act against American soldiers. When the American army heard this, they shot him (brutally) until he died, drug him into the middle of the street, entered one of the head injuries, and removed his brains. If this wasn't enough, they put him on the back of a military vehicle, and paraded him around his home town, saying "This is what you get when you mess with us."
Okay. Personally, American's should get off their high horse. Every human has the capability of emotion, and I don't think that anyone considers human nature as much as the apparent importance of destroying the enemy. Or is that human nature in itself? Can everyone take a minute to imagine if the tables were turned? Seriously. Imagine that you are a possibly innocent human, regardless of race or location, or war, and someone had blamed you of something you maybe never said or did. Now imagine that you are not only killed because of this, but all of your friends, family, and anyone you cared about or anyone who cared about you, had to see you obliterated with bullet wounds and your own brains dug out all over you. Being paraded around like a trophy.
This is what you get when you mess with us.
