And this right here is why I shake my head when people start gettign all condescending about other parts of the world. This country has done and continues to do some of the scummiest shit known to man. Not that it isn't disgusting what goes on elsewhere, like setting up the ice-truck as a bomb, just making the point that we look the other way or often fund the very people doing this kind of shit.
We need to cram all sorts of people into the middle-east, get out the woman and children, put in most the U.S. shot-callers, and bomb the place off the fucking map. We supported Sudaam going into Kuwaait and were buddy/buddy with him prior. We put the Sandanistas in power before we ever started funding the Contras and did the arms for hostages deal. We were funding both sides of the Iran/Iraq war. The U.S. likes to pretend it is the world's policeman but its the policeman that shoots you in the back and leaves a drop piece at the scene.
It is bad enough seeing the shit that goes on but to reprimand someone who tries to stop it?? "Raping young boys is just a cultural thing over there, you know like how a father and son playing catch is a cultural thing here. It's all pretty much the same". And when that kid who has been raped gets recruited into a terrorist organization don't expect anyone to be surprised.
