WHERE DID WE LOSE OUR OBJECTIVITY?
I'm stumped.
Did a recent writer tell readers that "in a war, barbarous acts happen"?
Despite the person's perchance to shed some light on past history, did he or she forget about his or her objectivity?
Did he or she forget that we are supposed to be the good guys here?
Weren't we supposed to be fighting an enemy that our President said was a threat to our nation's security?
I think the term Bush used was 'islamofascists'. Catchy phrase, no? Wraps up everything we do in one tidy sum--don't you agree?
So...since we got that out of the way...when has it become acceptable to stoop to the same level as our enemy?
When did we start disregarding ourselves as human beings and start acting out the role of the bad guy here?
No matter what happens in this war, we can never lose our objectivity! We cannot go and start killing indiscriminately because we can no longer tell who the enemy is anymore! And simply taking out our mounting frustrations and rage on a civilian populace (armed to the teeth)--is not winning Iraqi 'hearts and minds'!
It is just proving once and for all that we are no better than the enemy we're supposed to be fighting!
Is this how we want to be remembered from this conflict? The Butchers of Baghdad?
Think about what we really stand for!
Are we compassionate and caring Americans, or are we just blood thirsty barbarians?
