With all the illogic on both sides of the cesspool, the argument is akin to a spitball fight in a kindergarten class.

No, we shouldn’t torture. And no, we shouldn’t kill people either, unless we’re at (real) war. And war doesn’t mean perpetual occupation with hidden motives, either.

“Justice” certainly means something different to us than it does to anyone in either party (except you-know-who).

Much of the Democratic party approved of and continues to approve of the “War” (never declared and against a government that no longer exists) in Iraq and funds it so it cannot really complain on those grounds. Even worse, Obama and his fellow Demoplicans are expanding the “War” (non-declared) in Afghan-Pak-istan although the aims, strategy, criteria for termination, and raison d’être seem utterly mysterious. Because the Taliban is mean to women.. – then every woman in that region should own and use an AK-47 – but that is NOT an American problem. Or should Americans die for Hamid Karzai, the Ngo Dinh Diem Distinguished Professor of American Imperialist Puppetude of the University of Kabul?? By the way, Glenn Greenwald of Salon magazine has excellent articles following the general wussiness and hypocrisy of the Obamaphiles in renouncing the excesses of Bush-Cheney-Gonzales’ shredding of due process and the rule of law. However, I prefer that this country just “go and sin no more” than to “prosecute” Cheney and his lackeys {we’ll never get closure and if the US gets “attacked”, these lackeys will seem like “martyrs”}. Sadly, adopting a non-aggressive foreign policy is too big a step for the Democrats.
