That depends on how you define "isolated". I'm assuming that this has
happened more than once, but that hardly makes it systemic.

Wait a minute. We are expected to believe that these reservists came up
with things that Muslims specifically would see as humiliating? All by
themselves with no help? Do you think they took Arab
Humiliation courses
at their local community college?

Galen I think anyone would be humiliated at this stuff. I did not see
anything that would not fill a Christian or a pagan with absolute
disgust .

brian : i was being sarcastic. the world knows that iraq had nothing
to do with the trade tower bombings . WMD's are sort of in doubt
right now too.
in an earier post I mentioned what happened to a friend .
i am pretty angry about that.
soldiers are not policing themselves in a mannor appropriate for the
circomstance.
US soldiers (and brits) are finding themselves in the same
circomstance that i would imagine the germans did with the jews.
dehuminize the foe and they can be mistreated or even exterminated.
the germans are not an ignorant barbaric race, as a nation quite the
oposite : but they did what they did and now we are getting a lesson
on how this can happen.
i saw a night vision video of three men being shot by machine gun a
couple of nights ago. they were unarmed.
the humiliation the men in that iraqi prison were put through was not
just stuff that would play on the Islamic mind , it would be a crime
against anyone.

what you are looking at is an attitude. young men have absolute power
over a people that can't speak the language to complain and if they
can they are afraid to.
this has hapened before; and will again.
the truly sad thing is there is now way out.
we had a program played here in Canada , A W5 CBC production . It was
about the bush , bin laden ties and soudi arabia. It was most
interesting.
going to war seams easy. how george gets you out of it is going to be
a task.

though i dissagree with your view you are quite eliquent. i an sure
you don't carry a natural hatred for arabs at large, right now though
the coalition of the willing seams to. the news not allowed out of
iraq is frightening . your own media is not allowed to show coffins,
body bags or the bodies of dead US soldiers.
i think you will change your mind, eventually ( 10 years or so ) but
only if i am wrong....
