The difference between us and them

A 20-year-old Marine has pleaded guilty to murder and kidnapping an Iraqi man – and he’ll be punished. Punished with a real prison sentence – not a couple years in Guantanamo with fancy rice dishes and all of the amenities terrorists have come to expect from US authorities. What Pfc. John J. Jodka III did was wrong – no equivocation about that. I’d have never tolerated that from my soldiers, nor would I expect my subordinate leaders to cover up murder and kidnapping.

But when will we any Arabs stand trial for their murders and kidnapping on the other side? Hell, Leftists in this country think Saddam Hussein shouldn’t be tried by his own victims, I can imagine the intellectually vacant defense they put up for insurgents being punished if caught by US forces. They even called what happened to Zarqawi murder.

So what’s the real difference between us and them? We’re consistent – people who senslessly murder innocent people are not worthy of living among us. And them…well…
