Iraqi Policeman's son kidnapped and tortured


From anger and atrocity, breeds heroism and progression.

One can only ponder where this anger comes from. The anger they have to kidnap a small boy and to torture him in captivity, and the anger that grows in me that want's to seek vengeance on those who did.

What happened to that kid is unconscionable.

That it is a common attack against the people there is abominable.

Who needs anger? That would denote similar feelings of the sanctity of human life. Not all need the same motives. Not all need equal motivation. To some, that boy is nothing more than flesh to be rended. They do not need emotion to strip it from him.

Perhaps you forget that humans originate from animals. In the wild animals will kill each other over resources, for power, they do not need to feel angry at their victims. You need to recognize that we are not so far removed from wild animals and that some of us are closer than others to such a primitive state.

To speak of anger on their part is rather presumptuous, IMO.

Just one more act of barbarism from devout followers of the Islamic religion of peace and love. ...And they think the Israelis are bad.

uh, just as every other religion ever, there are varying levels of crazy, you know.

you wouldn't define Christians by the actions of Fred Phelps, would you?

Not really. It is fairly normal to want to avenge the defenseless. This does not mean one should actually act out on such impulses. We do not have to be controlled by our impulses.

There is that small mater of justice of course. Justice is also best left to the state.
