The U.S.is, in many ways one of the most understanding countries in the world. It has eliminated about 70% of Racists, Sexists, Anti-Semites from existence (most of them are people who watch Glenn Beck's Show). It has come so far since the 60's and 70's due to all of the Movements from Women, African-Americans, and Jews.
But with some things, were not quite where some other countries are.
And one of those things is Water Boarding.
If you are Unfamiliar with Water Boarding, then let me explain:
a Republican would probably explain it like this: there's a Muslim (and that means a terrorist) and he is a bad person (all Muslims are) and so in order to get him to answer questions, we simulate drowning, which doesn't actually hurt the person at all.
Are there lies? yes, many. But are there any lies about the actual water boarding, no. However, this is what really happens:
There's a guy who is a terrorist or, more likely, some guy who drives a Taxi into a camp. And this guy, guilty or innocent, is taken into a room, where they tie his arms to the back of a board and they take an entire jug of water and force it down their nose and mouth, making it seem like their drowning. No, it doesn't hurt the person at all, but if you were sinking to the bottom of a pool, that's what it would feel like. And if you tried to close your mouth, they would open it back up, physically. And the same thing for your nose. And while you feel like your about to die, you half to answer questions about terrorism.
So can't you think that it is just simple, because it is not.
My overall opinion is that water boarding sucks and should be illegal.
