I am sad and angry that the Defense Department wishes to change military regulations so that more violations of international law would seemingly not apply to US military personnel in their treatment of prisoners under their control.
The lawlessness and "we know best" mindset shown so much today is scary and simply Wrong!
Our arrogance alienates many in the world and feeds the paranoia that keeps "The War on Terror" alive and booming.
We should be learning to live with and support others throughout the world. Trying to change foreign governments and tell others in Canada, Mexico, Europe, Africa, Asia, Central and South America etc. - how they should do things in so many areas is disrespectful and disgusting.
It would be nice if we could look at other countries as people who have good and bad sides as we do as well as sources of inspiration and ideas for how we can make our own country a better place to live in.
Though we do much good here, we have a long way to go ending homelessness, domestic violence, violence among many of our younger generation, and many many other problems.
Thanks!
