Assymetrical Outrage
The Islamist pigs we are fighting in Afghanistan abduct and threaten to kill (or already have killed) civilians unless and until troops are pulled out of the country but, when captured, we’re supposed to provide them with prayer books and religiously appropriate meals among other creature comforts. Otherwise, segments of our society become unhinged over the “evil” of it all.
I am not saying that we should be as psychologically and physically brutal to them as they are to us (although frankly I wouldn’t care if we were), but I would like to see even half the pious outrage over the enemy’s conduct as is devoted to ours.
