Torture - Progress Pond

Promoted by Steven D (with some small edits).

Not a Principle of this Nation!

Though practiced, over the years, clandestinely, when found out about there once were Very Loud Condemnations arising from the Citizens of the United States Forcing Laws to be pass to Stop these Extremely Dangerous Practices, which can lead to Hatreds and Retaliation by others, as to our own Security of Nation and Citizens.

This Country also was one of the Principle Participants in Writing the Laws as to Conduct of the Rules of War and Human Rights, Worldwide, as well as to our own domestic laws.

And we kept Lists, updated yearly, of Countries who we Condemned for ‘Human Rights’ Violations.

‘We’ now have Changed the Principles of what this Nation is in this 21st Century!

‘We’ have become what was once Condemned!

‘We’ are now the Largest ‘Terrorist’ State on the Planet, with Preemptive Attacks on Innocent Countries.

‘WE’ label others as Terrorists under any and all excuses we can think of.

‘WE’ Continue the Support of Countries whose Leaders Suppress their own, a long time practice of our Foreign Policy.

‘WE’ start extremely negative propaganda campaigns against smaller nation states forcing them to look for whatever they feel they may need to protect themselves from the Giant ‘Terrorist’ State and refuse to use the Diplomacy of Intelligent Moderates who know Destruction only brings on More of Same.

These practices are All done ‘In Our Names’!

And now the Stamp of Approval will be placed on a New Law Of This Land that we Accept the Torture of Others, and possibly our own!

This ‘New Law’, will be the stage for a long battle against the Dangerous Direction the few have chosen for this Nation, and It Will Be Overturned. But from the Stamp of Approval to the Overturning as Unlawful, how many will ‘We’ Torture, some dying, as Hatreds grow against us by all who know them, to add to the already spinning out of control Hatreds growing out of our present out of control Foreign Policies, made by a few who talk tough but hide behind others to protect themselves!

How many more of our ‘Freedoms’ and ‘Democracy’ will we lose as we Destroy little countries and their people in the name of bringing them ‘Freedom’ and ‘Democracy’!
