Examples of civilised behaviour

The latest pictures of torture, humiliation, war-crimes and human rights abuse in Iraq by the "liberators" are of course sickening but nothing unexpected. I mean, this is what America does everywhere. What else were you expecting? Blair and Bush were abusive towards the UN, right from the beginning. They did everything to keep the UN and the international community out of Iraq. In the absence of any "genuine" neutral third party, the coalition forces are enjoying a freehand . And contrary to what US and British politicians are saying, these are not some isolated incidents. These are common and these are happening every day in Iraq. The reason why we don't get to hear these more often is because the invading criminals have the power to seal-off entire towns/villages and do pretty much anything they want. US soldiers used loudspeakers to play pop music near a mosque while people were offering their Friday prayers. They drag naked and beaten detainees like dogs. American liberators not only committed some of the most evil acts (remember, these guys were supposed to fight evil. But we have identified before, and hold our position that some of the biggest terrorists and evils are sponsored and created by none other than this America), but they specifically committed those acts that are most humiliating to Muslims. If these were done by Muslims, how many countries would have been bombed by now? How many sanctions would have been imposed? How many of those so-called experts would have presented their "analysis" on the case? But these are not the most important questions. What is important for Muslims now is to ask their leaders what to do about this. Will those leaders give some realistic and practical solutions, rather than their usual horse-manure "condemnations"?
