We shouldn't be so sentimental about torture & genocide.
We can't dwell on the torture of the terrorists in Iraq, or the torture of their children, they are vermin after all, they hate us for our freedoms, therefore, it's perfectly fine to torture them and bomb them, they are simply not like us, they're beneath us, and deserving of ethnic cleansing. The more of them that we torture and kill, the safer America will be, so we should not be so troubled at reports of children being tortured, really.

Look how good we have it here! No one is tortured here, everyone is fat and well off, the thought of a child being tortured in some far off third world terrorist country shouldn't even darken our thoughts on this fine, sunny day. Look around you, we've got it really good here!

I've seen where a lot of people around here are a bit upset by all this torture, but try to see it in a positive way, it's not YOU or YOURS being tortured. To you, life is torture free, hot , freshly processed food on every corner, no tortured bodies lying around in the streets, isn't all this luxury and freedom we enjoy worth torturing a few terrorist kids?

And I don't think we should complicate things with endless arguments, if we torture terrorists, by God we might as well torture their kids too. Torture has gotten a lot of bad press traditionally, and America finally brought it out into the shining light of the technically advanced, luxury laden, New American Century and made it acceptable, and thank the Lord for that.

We can't hear their screams of agony and terror that they so justly deserve, and that's a good thing.
