The Iraqi prisoner abuse issue has to put it in Donald Rumsfeld's words gone "radioactive". Its all over the media ..
Several very interesting issues here ..

Firstly people everywhere are saying though Rumsfeld was not directly responsible for this , he should take the responsbility as the Secretary of Defense , basically take the fall and resign. This will send a powerful and required message to the average person on the Arab street that the US is really serious and does infact regard this as a big enough issue ...
Second how will this affect the politics of american election ?
Third and most importanly , this does not help the already severly damaged image that the arabs have of the americans..

bad bad bad ....

well, apart from all the political issues, i guess this just goes to prove that in a war, nobody can take the higher moral ground, so to speak, as both the americans and the arabs love to do...what was that again about becoming the thing you hate the most...?

doesnt everybody like to do that ? no one ever believes that he/she has done something wrong ..famous killers and despots never thought that they did anything wrong ..

I post things which if someone else would start saying they would start by saying "obviously .. blah blah". Due to my limited and slow perception I usually realize things late, so it happens often that I suddenly realize something which the whole world already knows.. I post such late realizations here about society, culture, business, politics and economics..
