Nailing The Coffin Shut....

.....On American Exceptionalism

Tortures'RUs

"It's unacceptable to think that there's any kind of comparison between the behaviour of the United States of America and the action of Islamic extremists who kill innocent women and children to achieve an objective."
George W. Bush,
President of The United States of America
Sept 15, 2006



Of course, Mr. Bush was attempting to justify why it's OK for him and his to torture people.

And I agree with him that the killing of innocent women and children for ideological reasons is a very, very bad thing indeed.

However, I would also suggest that it is unacceptable to NOT compare such killings undertaken for ideological reasons to other the killings that have also been undertaken for ideological reasons.

Killings like this.

Or this.

Or this.

Or, especially, this.

OK?
