So humiliation is worse than a shredder?

'Libyan', for obvious reasons fails to point out that this is a rehash of the same Abu Graib scandal that is already two years old.

If this is all that the Muslim world can point at as a comparison between their values and Western values it is a pretty weak point. Do you think that the individuals on the end of the rough treatment dished out by a minority of US servicemen (who have faced trial and subsequent imprisonment) would have preferred the rough treatment that they could have expected to have received under Saddam? Does 'Libyan' truly believe that these Iraqi prisoners would have preferred to be fed into shredders (feet first so that the agony would last longer and to prolong their screams) rather than a little ritual humiliation as they might have expected to in the past?

Therefore, the real question is whether it is worth even reading such ignorant comments from somebody with such warped values.

Libyan, if your family were prisoners of war , and you had a choice in the matter, would you prefer your female family members to be prisoners of an Iraqi regime (and their infamous 'rape rooms') or would you prefer them to be prisoners of a Western force. There is only one intelligent answer to that question and one that only a mentally challenged person would guess incorrectly. Which only serves to make your comments execrable (execrable basically means that your comments are summed up by swear word that rhymes with 'hit').

P.S. Has Libya blown up any more civilian passenger aircraft recently?
