'so in your mind, does that make the rest of us crazy?'
No, i'm just trying to understand why everybody is so overly outraged. There are more things in the world to be outraged about people. Save your outrage for some of that, instead of Americans smiling over corpses *Gasps* Shock horror...!!
'This is our own kind here, a living being that we should feel solidarity with.'
Okay, couldn't you put that sentence in a less prickish, hippy-esque sounding form?
Right -
If the dead Iraqi's were killed terrorists then fine, i really don't see the big deal. If they were innocent, then okay, i can see why everybodies so touchy about the subject, but i personally don't feel "disgusted", "sickened" or anything else, because i really couldn't give a flying, singing, dancing Rats anus.
Just because they're "our own kind" doesn't mean you have to become pissed off when somebody shows glee in the death of another person. A Paedophile rapes and kills 5 1 month year old children...the parents find him, torture him and finally burn him. Rejoicing in his death. Is that feeling wrong? Should they be all "Oh no, we've killed a piece of scum...lets be saddened and ashamed of ourselves for doing such a tragic thing...*Sigh*". No, that's not wrong. That's fine.
Now, one could argue that the emotions these Soldiers were feeling was the equivalent to the emotions a parent would feel upon finding out her child had been raped and killed by a Paedophile. Thus they wouldn't really care and thus they would want to be seen rejoicing.
Now, i personally don't think any one [aside from a victim] can feel more pain, anger and torment than a parent realising that has happened to her child, but it was an example.
You'd be good at Human Rights, Death. They're always whinging about how murderers, rapists, Paedophiles get badly treat [that's assuming the corpses were Terrorists].
