Yes, war is horrendous and, on occasion (though not always) necessary. I fail to see how that means anything goes in war, or that God would condone any and all activities. Are you going to take the position that we can do whatever we want to do in a war? What if we could prove that raping women in front of their husbands would make the husbands more likely to divulge information. Would that be ok? Would God condone that? I think even you will admit that there are lines that are drawn and that your post above is nothing but hyperbole. |

Personally, I am not naive enough to think that we DONT torture people when needed, that we don't assassinate people, we don't spy on our own citizens, etc...of course we do. My issue with Mitt isn't necessarily that he is tolerant of waterboarding. My issue is that he seems to have flimsy conviction that wavers depending on who is asking him the questions. Tepid leadership will embolden fanatics much more than the US recognizing certain interrogation tactics as torture. Of all the issues facing the new President in 2008, waterboarding isnt really a big priority in my mind. But it would be nice to have a decisive leader in the White House, as opposed to an opportunist with a Grecian formula weave.

I did stick to the point, you failed to understand the point...

You can call me an Ass because you think I am acting like one, which can be understandable at times, and I admit readily that there are occasion's when I fit that bill. But calling someone like Romney evil? Also torture is not acceptable. In fact I think it is deplorable. |
