I feel Lanny's POV on this issue for sure.
To me its real simple: Bush and many Americans in general have no respect for the soverignty(sp?) of other nations. They have no problem moving into a country and demolishing anything in the way to achieve what they THINK may be better for the people. Yet they dont consider that whats best for AMERICAN people isnt always whats best for ARAB people or CUBAN people.
And yeah torture would be horrible and iam sure these players are happy to have it cease, but does that mean they have to give up there nation and everything in it they love? Does it mean they have to watch there innocent family members die in street? Does it mean they have to live in a war zone, that isnt changing 1 year later? Just beacuse 1 bad thing was stopped in their lives, Im pretty sure that wouldnt weight against all of the injustices that have mounted on the heads on the Iraqi citizens since "liberation"........a dead family, ruined home and dismantled country is NOTa good trade for the cease of torture.
How can you tell these people that they have to put up with these injustices in their own land?? The reprive of torture will NEVER make up for the destruction the Americans caused.
