Christ all mighty! Didn't the murder of innocents going back to Leon Klinghoffer and beyond give anybody a clue?
Reverend Billy Bob only tells us to pray for the sinners...

Here's a paper towel, wipe off your screen.
You're right, those injuries probably weren't dog bites. The guy was just scratching his flea bites a little too hard.

Finally you remembered the screen......LOL
Somehow rationalizing that we're not as bad as Saddam doesn't quite seem to be what William Bradford was talking about in his "City on a Hill" sermon.

I wasn't rationalizing but railing against those who equated us with Saddam. Those who did wrong should be punished - appropriately. However, what has resulted has not been appropriate.

Here's another take...the US soldiers will be punished...Did the Iraqis punish wrong doers until we came in?
Yes. And the fact remains that it was wrong, and should be treated as such in isolation, not compared to some other wrongs by people whose moral codes (such as they are) are deficient.

Reverend Billy Bob doesn't sponsor public beheadings of innocents.
I suspect that they think it makes them look more intimidating. Personally, I think it makes them look like clowns. Shades of the KKK.....
To quote a line from last weeks West Wing: "Find who did this and kill them; Find who ordered this and kill them, then find anyone who is happy about this and kill them!"

Don't worry, I got the point. My problem was not so much with the images themselves, which are what I'd expect from a war, but with the way they were presened: either with almost total clinical detachment, or as a really cool action flick.
