Re: Arab woman stone to death for dating a non-muslim
It's really sick that people do this to each other. No doubt about it.
But which of our dealings in the middle east does this video justify exactly?
As much as it pisses me off, how do their crimes justify US policy? Take your pick ...
A. Promoting inter-arabic violence through money and arms shipments
B. Financing dictatorships for decades, only to use their compliance with our wishes as an excuse to depose them later.
C. Kidnapping suspects with or without evidence and taking them out of their country for any period of time.
D. Torturing those suspects for information in secret CIA prisons without regard to our laws, the laws of the host country, the laws of the prisoner's country, or basic human rights.
E. Circomventing the Geneva Convention by inventing the term "enemy combatants", in order to justify the torture, abuse and indefinite confinement of whoever we decide is an enemy.
F. Executing an undefined and unlimited "war on terror", which means whatever we decide it does, and using that term to justify our abuse of anyone's sovereignty, human rights or legal rights (as defined in their own country).
G. Taking over a sovereign country and promising democracy, but instead, using their country to host our "war on terror".
