Why does the U.S Government think its ok to torture children?

Question

The U.S military are holding approx 2500 - 3000 children as "Enemy combatants". The Bush Admin has authorized the use of torture on the children of suspects to force confessions out of people..... What the F*$K is wrong with you people? you make me sick.

Answer 1

You shouldn't have a problem with that grinding up children and having their brains suck out is consider a right to you.

For those so called "Children" those who strap bombs themselves and shooting at our troops are not as innocent as you like to think.

You have NO proof those children are being tortured.

If they are most likely getting far better care than if the shoe was on the other foot.

Answer 2

LOL why are you such an ignorant sh*t stained troll? Show sources or GTFO. What the F*$K is wrong with you? you make me sick.

Answer 3

I for one would say that your sources are misleading depending on what they call children.  Considering that in the Middle East they use young adults down to the age of 12 to attack people than I could see enemy combatants or prisoners of war under the age of 18.  Just because the US tries it's hardest to fight fairly and ethically doesn't mean that every one does.

Answer 4

You should check your sources.

Answer 5

Really?

Answer 6

Maybe you should talk to some vets and find out what our enemies have done with children in places like Vietnam, Iraq, Bosnia etc. strap a bomb to them and wait til they are among a group of our service men and women then push a button and cause the death of several of our soldiers. Is it right to torture children? If you were talking about countries that do not use them as soldiers I would say no, but the fact is not all countries are like the U.S. with a minimum age limit for their military. Look at the stuff coming out of some of these countries, young children (8-10) years old holding AK 47's and being trained, brainwashed, and forced to kill Americans. Just because children are regarded in one way here does not mean they are every where else. And yes that is a sad reality.

Answer 7

children can still shoot guns/plant bombs....but that doesnt mean bush is in the right...what a f'd up world we live in...

Answer 8

well, if even 1 of those 2500-3000 enemy combatants could/ would be responsible for the death of one of my fellow servicemen/women, then i say that the means are justified by the outcome. its really funny that the only ones who cry over our policies during wartime are too chickenchit to actually fight for the freedom you are exercising to b***h/pis/and moan.

Answer 9

What are you counting as children??

Plus, the Bush Administration wouldn't condone the torture of anyone, as it is illegal under international law....

Answer 10

Hitler had his Hitler Youth too...was the problem the USA/Britain.France/Poland?Canda or just Hitler and his cult back then ??????? You tell us

We did that kinda **** in Northern Ireland too where we encouraged our kids to go out and provoke the brits and then the brits would shoot one dead and there would be an uproar at a child dieing...........where did it get us cos in the end the sane people just had to stand up and be counted and drown out the insane people who would have kept the conflict going for centuries with martyred kids and demon soldiers...

wise up, bet the ordinary joes in Iraq are just scared of the nutcase religious guys who control the destiny of their lives with their mad ill conceived policies leading to the inevitable destruction of their country , just like Hitler almost brought about the end of germany.A bit of unity in the world  and standing up to the islamic cultists as a group would settle the problem within weeks and encourage the san elements in their society to take charge. The only one who has a clue is Bush....like Churchill in WW2 the only one with a bit of bottle.

I think back to my own country in the bad days when the (clinically) crazy priests ran ireland. It was pure madness and we all secretly thought it was madness but they held a power over us and could freely abuse our rights as humans and citizens...we are a very good example of what I guess Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan are like. We isolated ourselves from the world and tried to set up a semi religious semi nationalist state ....and we nearly destroyed our economy in the process. Europe and the EU saved us. But even Europe had its sad history of crazy cult ideologies that almost caused the continents self destruction..WW1 and WW2. It took a buch of outsiders, Americans, to sort out our problems for us...lets never forget our stupidity in bitterly oppressing the german people to the point they felt they were destroyed after WW1 and then setting the climate for a schizotypal modern day prophet/messiah to arise in Germany and pervert a good people into carrying out atrocities. But for america's fair treatment of postwar germany and the realisation the people were brainwashed by Hitler and needed to be deprogrammed and shown they had a bright future in harmony with their neigbours and the world God knows what would have happened in Europe.

Its very easy to always adopt the higher moral ground, to argue on the side of peace and to lend political credibility to groups that are little more than religious cults...cop on: thats what Al queda is...like David Corish, Like Jim Jones or the Aum cult in Japan that set off the sarron gas in the tokyo underground. Even, in my own country, a protestor in shannon airport  who took an axe to an american military plane was a former member of an american religious cult whose leader had murdered someone ! The Muslim world is composed of humans exactly like ourselves who develop mental problems and form " end of the world" type cults. To these religious madmen the west and western culture is a threat to their grip on their people and they see the hypnotic attraction of western culture on their youth tempting them away from the lifestyle of their forefathers and leading them to question their local religious leaders and reject their teachings....this is what happened to our own religions in the west eg my own church, the catholic church , is decimated by a series of scandals and a total lack of credibility in a (now) more educated peoples. Western culture lifts people out of peasantdom and lets them know they should have a certain expectation out of life and certain innate rights eg rights of women.The mullahs and priests of fundamentalist islam have their backs to the wall and they see the writing on the wall and they're using every means possible to resist it, just as Hitler thought nothing of bringing about the destruction of germany rather than sacrifice himself. You live in a world of bad guys and underdogs...what is so wrong with a world that says no nations, no religions are more important than the rights of a individual and every human has these rights.What about the poor people in the twin towers.....what sin did they commit against islam. The truth is, unless you want to return to an age when every crazy bully or religious nutcase  rules the roost and the rest of us are too scared to say...hang on mate, you've no right to interfer with our rights to life happy and free lives you gotta have wars and you gotta nip problems in the bud before they get outta hand. Too often we hear about american interest in oil being their motive in the middle east but we ignore the interests of french and russian nuclear engineering companies in Iraq and iran ...naively giving technology like uranium enrichment to governments that are not responsible and whose domains contain a ragtag collection of religious end of the world type cults ripe with potential for producing the next hitler.

Sometimes you gotta do bad things in war to make sure the self destructive enemy doesn't manage to destroy you first. The only one who sees the potential threat is Bush- the man is hated in Ireland and his predecessor is revered because he cow towed to the nutcases in the IRA and the DUP and jumped everytime they had a grievance and paid them attention. Bush refused to give them the media attention they craved and basically told them to cop on and give up their arms and form a government and get on with giving their kids the chance at a normal decent life...and they did !

Wise up....these people are a dangerous cult, a spectre for all our nations pasts of self destruction and a time bomb just ticking away. This is history repeating itself for the very reason that the same nutcases get listened to over and over again by the quite majority too afraid to stand up and say "Your ideas are mad and unreasonable; you'll bring about our destruction; we gotta look outwards and not inwards towards isolation" America gets blamed for the slaughter of innocent japanese people in world war 2 in the nuclear attacks on hiroshima and nagasaki- but , look at the fanaticism of the cult that ran japan and brought destruction on their people- a whole city is wiped off the face of the earth and they still don't surrender???? A second bomb is dropped and only then do the saner elements take control to avoid the destruction of a nation brought on by their misguided code and maddness. That is the nature of cults and fanaticism and thats what is developing in the middle east now .

Answer 11

Why don't the American people seem to know that  Iraqi children are being beaten & killed, half a million children have been killed up to now, also there has been whistleblowers from the miltary saying that children are tortured in front of parents to try & get a confession.

Did nobody see the photo's of the prisoners being tortured by US troops & that women soldier with the naked prisoner on a dog lead
