Ciena,

I know this. USA people, like people all around the world, are just
people and deserve my respect. I'm not judging people, I'm just
apalled at what some with so called high moral standards can justify.
This includes the perpetrators of sept 11 (who claim high moral issues
btw) and those of the USA Iraqi torturers and their superiors (who
also claim high moral motives). I'm also apalled at many statements
in this ng, acusing people right and left of hideous things, damaging
their reputations, in the name of high moral standards. Bad things
start small: if you can not respect your neighbour, however different,
you will never respect the world with its many cultures. Those few
servicemen and women could never have done this sort of thing without
knowledge and consent of their superiors, and their superiors too.
"Ich habe es nicht gewust" is no credible excuse, "what they did to
us" even less.

Alex
