Isn't it a bit hypocritical of our gov't to condemn beheadings...
...and then go galavanting around with the leaders of countries where they regularly behead people on the streets? Does anyone really believe the justice system is so good that they don't kill innocent people in the middle east?

7. Isn't it a bit hypocritical
Edited on Fri Jun-18-04 02:01 PM by enough
after brutally murdering thousands of Iraqi civilians, including children, in an unnecessary war?

And caring so little about it that we don't even bother to count the dead.
