Well that's nice. If this is to be believed then there are some extremist Americans who will drive people out of the country "so fast" under the threat of death for exercising their freedom of expression.
That doesn't sound much better than some extremists in Pakistan rioting in the streets, does it?
I am pretty sure the Brits have called for an investigation. The US convicted soldiers for the mistreatment of PoWs in Iraq.
Actually my comment was directed at Shawnski's repeated use of the word "civilized". How "civilized" do you think we look right now? What is more civilized? The videotaped beating of children or the stonethrowing riot? I think it's a toss-up at best.
As for the "investigation" if I'm a fellow living with my kids in a pile of rubble in Fallujah I'm not so sure that I'd be impressed to find out that the guy who attached a car battery to my brother's nuts is under investigation.
