The cost of war

interesting that you seem to equate beheading with being held
prisoner at Guantanamo.

Well, let's see how it works inside Martin's head:

Violent terrorist prisoners are receiving "three hots and a cot" every day
in Gitmo, and showers twice a week...

don't forget the treating they receive. punishments, no lawyer, not charged
for anything, almost no access for orgs like the red cross, etc. - yeah,
must be a cool thing, beeing fed is all you need for a life in happiness.

*YOU* call them terrorists? *whow* .. *cool* ... how have you come to this
conclusion? do you have any _PROOF_ for that? anything but what your regime
is telling you? A court order? Do you have exact numbers or statistics
about Guantanamo? you have nothing (same here). Don't you think that this
should not happen in a civilized country (*ooops*)?

Innocent hostages in Iraq, however, are being slaughtered while hog-tied,
like a calf, on live TV, every day...

well, this is truly sad, and I haven't said that I am OK with this.

But this is the way it goes: You *invade* a country (besides: without the
formalism like declaring war etc.) and still wonder that you make no
friends in this country you invaded? You behave - in wide parts [1] - like
warlords and wonder that they try to fight back? You really haven't learned
a bit from (recent) history. Check what the British troops at least try to
do.

Yep, that's Martin's view of the world.

Thanks for telling me about my viewpoint :-))))

Our "terrible" prisons somehow make
it okay to slaughter innocent humans in cold blood on live TV.

show me the reference where I have said or written that. Please.

Martin, you never cease to amaze me.
