Vive Democracy!
The Australian Friday, May 07, 2004
Sadly, no country or culture is free of crime and perversion - be it the US, Iraq, Muslim, Christian or anything else. It is long proven that humans cannot be trusted with prisoners - without a vigilant system of accountability.
What makes the US way better than the Saddam way is not the innate virtue of its individuals. It is their free press, the resulting public outcry and the resulting restoration of standards. Vive democracy!
