For one thing, I did just show above that many atrocities perpetrated against German and Japanese civilians WERE official US policy and not just "bad stuff that happens" during a war.

Second, the left loves to exagerrate and pretend that Bush is running some Gulag archipelago or that he's setting up Maidanek's and Treblinka's all over the place. In the 4 yrs since 9/11 there's been at most a handful of guys even involved in this(Padilla, Hamdi). You make it seem like the gov't is just picking random muslims off the street and shipping them out in cattle cars. You mention those who are innocent. I guess we hould have left Hitler in power. After all, we killed more than 1,000,000 innocent Germans to get rid of him. We killed more than 1,000,000 Japanese civilians before Hirohito would kneel before MacArthur. Should we have surrendered first?

There's two choices here. Freedom or Submission. They won't rest until we submit. Quite frankly, Bush is actually a tad too timid for my tastes. Further, I could really care less about a few random people caught in the crossfire. They're of no concern to me. Victory is.

Read some Churchill. You should be more concerned about real bad guys and Leftist Gods and Heroes Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Zhou Enlai, Che, Ho Chi Minh, Castro etc... that ACTUALLY have set up far reaching secret prisons and labor camps. But you don't hear a peep from the left or the ACLU or the democrats about Castro or the Chinese Lao Gai, do you?
