Business as Usual

So we are back to the eternal question "Does the end justify the means?"!

The Bush administration can shout as loud as it wants but nothing can cover the fact that they simply don't comply with International law and that they hide what they are really doing from the public (and here we link back to another post of mine about what democracy needs to survive, i.e. the people have to be informed about what is going on to choose if they want to carry on with their government).


Here is a little list about the recent things they did against International Law:
- Holding prisoners in Guantanamo with no rights to a fair trial
- Torturing people and sending them to secret prisons
- Using white phosphorous on the battle field (white phosphorous is often compared to napalm because it combusts spontaneously when exposed to oxygen and can burn right through skin to the bone).

I guess we as a species are not that different from what we were when we were still animals. It is still the law of the strongest which prevails!
