Not the same as saying it was discussed and prosecuted adequately.
We are responsible for every single act of evil committed in Iraq by our soldiers.

Frankly, I’m still missing the point, as I was missing it 2 years ago. I see, how people react, but I just cannot get it, yet.
Who are those, who protest against the pictures – some kind of new born Christians, who are sayings it’s against teaching of Jesus? Or maybe some people, who still want to talk about some kind of moral or family values? Some kind of American values in their understanding? Some kind of a need to keep “In God We Trust on money bills”? Who are those, who upset? What for are they making all the buzz about?
Big deal, - a few men’s butts. Like we did not agree to celebrate sexual perversion, I mean, diversity. There should be some freedom of speech. If I flip through basic cable channels and see a doctor, graphically explaining to a new born gay, how to relax his anus for penetration, I don’t have to watch. I understand, that teaching such things on TV and in the schools, they are just saving a few good butts from extra pain. (Well, maybe, it turned a little bit more painful for an Iraqi or two, but I guess it’s unavoidable.)
I just flip to another channel and enjoy all sexy skin reveling women, shaking their butts and discussing multiple partners. Isn’t our goal to liberate Iraqis women?
What is wrong with our guys teaching Iraqis the same lessons of democracy as they had been always thought at home. Aren’t we there to teach Iraqis democracy? I don’t understand, how Muslim’s feelings can be hurt? It’s like saying, that Christian feelings may be hurt by gay and lesbian parades or by gay marriage. So, is it like Muslims have more feelings than Christians? Nobody would take such statements seriously. I don’t see how we can bring our democracy and freedom of speech and artistic expression to Iraqis, if we follow these Christian complains, and punish the guys, who are just trying to pass our culture to Iraqis. I don’t even see too much of collateral damage here, - it’s not like a bomb on a village.
Ye, may be, if they did something like this here, they would get arrested , but - would I hear a 2 years long buzz about it? They also shoot and kill there and generally don’t get arrested. There should be some kind of difference.
I cannot get yet, how that girl and her baby were sentenced for years in prison; but that mature woman, her general did not even resign, - like there is no responsibilities of a general for lives and wellbeing of his – I have to say - or her – soldiers. There is no such things as decency or military honor even for a general; - so, what for all this buzz?
Of course, whatever is going, it is always good to impeach the President, but how would it change the picture in the mirror?
