  Maybe if you would go over there and ask them to play nice there would be no need for them to cut peoples heads off or take over hotels and execute people or detonate bombs killing hundreds of innocent people. I'm sure that way we wouldn't have a need to torture people. Just a thought.

    You have no need for torture. On the other hand, you do need to be able to claim the moral high ground in this fight. You can not do that while subjecting people to torture.

      The only thing you need to be able to claim in this fight is VICTORY.

        when Victory isn't possible, then what? We can NEVER win that war. All we are doing is expanding the hatred of the U.S. worldwide.
        
        So if we can't win, why not at least leave with SOME dignity? Hmmm?

        I've never had a defeatest attitude. I have no doubt we can win. One thing I'm sure of is that you certainly can't win if you QUIT!!

      To Neophile:
      
      Thanks for your efforts, but you're just spittin' into the wind.
      
      It saddens me that someone can believe torture is justified, and can call themselves an American. Or a human being, for that matter.
