Comments:Seventh Guantanamo Prosecutor resigns over ethical issues

Apathy

It's an amazing sign of American apathy that for the most part there is little to no outrage among us over this sort of thing. Few really care, and most are too lazy to do anything about the human rights abuses in Guantanamo. --Poisonous (talk) 08:37, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

That's not fair, I like to think that people of all nationalities exercise apathy equally. Americans are just better at focusing it, like tiny laser beams of ambivalence. I for one applaud the US for returning to their medieval roots, torture is a very important part of everyone's heritage. --Smackdat (talk) 13:17, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't agree with that , unless it's irony. --69.157.178.75 13:23, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't agree with Smackdat either... I think Poisonous is absolutely spot on. -- Friskymuffin - (talk) 17:24, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Democracy is so fragile a social construct because the very freedoms it is meant to protect can also, when "the balance of powers" is disrupted, enable one more assertive entity (currently the Executive branch) to assume prerogatives in the name of crisis or safety that truly endanger the democratic process itself. Power once gained is noteasily relinquished, though our mandatory regime change every 4 years is some safeguard against that eventuality. It is clear now that such a change MUST TAKE PLACE !

see you in nuremberg
