This will put to shame not only Bush, Cheney, Rice & Powell BUT all the Americans who supported and still support the invasion and occupation of a country.
It is the worst a civilized UN member nation can do to another country. The UN was formed to prevent just this kind of "HITLER & NAZI" head rising again in the civilized world.

Y'know, I had a guess about how many comments it would take to get to "Nazi" or "Hitler". Nikki, you blew it away. Comment #1! What an accomplishment! That's the kind of calm intellectual discourse we need on Propeller.
The incidents at the Abu Gharib were a stain on our military police. The commanding officer was legitimately relieved of command, and positive changes made.
The atrocities committed by the terrorists were orders of magnitude more grotesque, and orders of magnitude more common. Comments like Nikki's weaken our resolve and help the terrorists.

Apologist!
You state that the incidents at Abu Gharib were a stain on our military police and that the commanding officer was relieved of command...what? And you speak of intellectual discourse when your primacy of importance is how long it takes before a reference to the most notable and memorable, the standard bearer of, Right Wing political regime...what a crock!
1st: what about the private contractors involved? what about the chain of command up to where the issue originated (white house)? isn't Responsibility a virtue cherished anymore?
2nd: This was a stain on America due to the unpatriotic actions of those who ORDERED the systematic abuse.
3rd: you want to justify this by saying "but gee, they do bad things too..." WTF! moral relativist!
4th: when speaking of an admittedly (& proudly so) 'right wing' political organization, to whom should you reference? the standard bearer of the OPPOSITE? Stalin? No, you reference the appropriate political faction.

"Comments like Nikki's weaken our resolve and help the terrorists."
It is actually comments like these that help the terrorists. Your comment shows that you no longer value the moral high ground and have become that which you claim to hate...a terrorist nation.

"The incidents at the Abu Gharib were a stain on our military police. "
--The incidents were a stain on America and contributed to the rest of the international community's skepticism of our motives for invading. Some underlings took the fall, the world saw that not only was the spreading democracy excuse a total sham but we didn't even take advantage of the opportunity to show we're serious about justice and severely punish those involved. Sad.

what a shame, that the media focused on that, and not the support of the troops. I am not saying it should not have been reported...but focus on support of the troops or the mission was not the agenda. Within a week or two of 911, Hillary and her ilk were demanding to know what Bush knew and how long he had known it. How transparent was that..less than a year after Gore lost.

I think you should check your sources more carefully. After 9/11, not only the Democrats but the whole world was supporting America and even Bush. Even in the ramp-up to the Iraq war, the whole of the US seemed to be completely blind and deaf to the lies and deceptions. I found it shocking that very few in the Congress, Senate or the media ever questioned anything. It seemed as if everybody in the US were under a spell.
