What separates us from the "bad guys"?
Killing innocent people? Nope. Both the "bad guys" and the US do that.
Not using torture? Nope. The "bad guys" and the US do that.
Our Bill of Rights, maybe? First 10 amendments to the Constitution of the United States. Well, that's shot to hell under Bush-Cheney and Ashcroft. No one can deny that.
I know. OUR MOTIVES. We MEAN WELL when we kill innocent people. When we have to keep people offshore in order to torture them
OUR MOTIVES are great. Not our actions, which are on a level with the "bad guys", but we MEAN WELL.
To be good guys you have to be good.
Arf (sure glad I figured that out. Never thought I'd long for Eisenhower.)
