This proves my point. You haven't listened to a word I said.
America, unfortunately, doesn't pay attention to stuff like this - like you, they're too proud and patriotic and give defending nationality "attacks" a higher priority than anything else. It's all excuse excuse excuse. You've not even taken on board the fact that if America continues to humiliate the Iraqi prisoners, more Americans will be captured and killed.
I make no assumptions when I say that it is most likely these Iraqis will be ignored. Watching the news and reading the papers, it is plain to see that all that is being talked about is how appauling the death of this one American is. George Bush doesn't seem interested in anything else other than killing the extremists - he doesn't care about the Iraqi prisoners, they aren't on his agenda, since it's what the public wants.
I can't help but think of that as wrong. If someone took Americans away and started humiliating them in their prisons, American extremists would probably start doing the same. American extremists apparantly being the entire fucking population.

The execution case is a sad thing. But I must agree with Searex here, I'm sorry. Just viewing our media doesn't show what dicussion goes on within the population. The execution is a brief topic. The humiliation is still a strong discussion. It's horrible, isn't it? That America isn't made up entirely of greedy slobs who are so full of patriotic shit they'll turn a blind eye to anything wrong with themselves? I'm so sorry to break the stereotypes here.
I don't quite understand what it'll take to get the message across. As much as you may want to believe, by reading headlines, generalizing off of online discussions, etc... we AREN'T that different from the rest of the world. Our government may be elected, but every person here has a unique opinion. There's problems here, sure. I just don't see where you're coming from with these accustions of extremist patriotism. I can talk to any of my friends, my teachers, my friends parents, etc... and most, if not all, are entirely different from the way you seem to assume public opinion is regarding national pride.
