Evilsincarnation Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Before I get of into my rant let me first say this...what the Americans did to the Iraqi prisoners was wrong, they deserved some type of punishment but not his. Ok, so when Americans take some NASTY and SICK pictures of Iraqi's the world freaks out. Compare the fenzy of this to Americans being beheaded and it beats it. Come on, it was sick bu we didn't CUT THEIR HEADS OFF. Yet, that got the most attention. The world seems to think that our citizens will alwasy do the right thing and so forth. Newsflash, some people in this country are F***ed up, just like people in other countries, so get used to it. By the way, I hope putting f then stars is not considered profanity.

FlightlessBird Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I believe you are correct in saying that their are some screwed up people in America, but There is as many dumb, Naieve,& undereducated people in this world as thier is demented. These people, when they hear they made a mistake, it goes on the back burner or so to speak. They dont want to admit it or take responsibiliy for their actions. This was the perfect example of making a mistake, and focusing on something else. Kinda like insecurity. The second these American Idiots (not saying america is a bunch of idiots, just alot of em.) saw the oppurtunity to focus on something else, they took it. To avert the medias and other peoples attention off thier mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just add my two cents. The reason the abusing of the prisoners in Abu Ghraib (sp?) got more attention was simply because it was done by people who were, in effect, representing a government who were supposed to be paragons of the justice and freedom of democracy, and the pictures and what-not is pretty much iron-clad evidence of the kind of abuse which democracy is supposed to be the antithesis of. The beheadings, whilst still terrible and senseless, were done by people of whom it was pretty much expected would do something like this sooner or later.
