And does it even make us safer? How many people, including those who are not terrorists, have we encouraged to hate America because of things like this? How many terrorists did these policies help create? Is that effective counter-terrorism? Is making people hate us more a good way to prevent future terrorist attacks? |
Instead of keeping related posts in one topic, you decide to create a new one claiming torture doesn't work. I disagree.
Now you say it doesn't matter if it does work. Well, which is it? Any point discussing the morality of torture relies on wether it does or does not work.
And, you are stealing my hard earned VG chartz money by needlessly making duplicate topics.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
