What have we become?

So now we are attacking hospitals first, because "the insurgents treat their wounded there." Are we to accept that medical facilities are no longer off limits as targets for our, increasingly Wafen SS like, military? What will be our response when the insurgents target our medical personnel in retaliation? Will we decry the "barbarism" of the insurgency, or will we look into the mirror and, at long last, recognize what we have become under this filthy, criminal and anti-american regime?

Does the rationalization over the video taping of a Marine shooting the captured and wounded prisoner in the mosque in Falujah change our perception of what the Wafen SS did to our troops at Malmedy, Belgium during the Battle of the Bulge, December 17, 1944? It should, for if it was somehow OK for the young Marine to kill a wounded, unarmed prisoner then it was fine for our prisoners (some wounded) to have been summarily executed by the Germans 60 years ago.

Is this the kind of country we have become, to act like the monsters of the NAZI regime? Are these the "moral values" that the CINO (Christians In Name Only) bandied about during the last election? What will it take for these people, as well as the rest of America, to wake up and understand what is happening here.

I recently spoke with a gentleman who was a teenager in Germany during the war and he asked me why the American people cannot recognize that what happened to his native land (he lives here since 1948 and is a naturalized citizen) under Hilter and the NAZIs is happening here and now under Bush and the ultra right wing Neocons? I had no answer for him.

Do you?
