Exactly...and you need go no further than this board to see both of these viewpoints.

In the final analysis, this will be a big story -- and we may never get the real truth because politics will drive it.

IowaStatePhiPsi likes to question authority. In fact when he wanted America to be bombed and its citizens killed, he was questioning authority.

He never stops to question authority as long as he can blame the US for something or another.

Questioning authority can be good -- but not for the sake of itself.

We would not have the country that we do if the founders hadn't questioned the authority of the King.

On the other hand, questioning "everything" is counterproductive.

Some people question everything just because they hate the US.

Some people want the US to be bombed and its citizens massacred.

Some people don't want to wait and see what actually happened in this case.

Some people were foil hats.

You wrote what you wrote.

And again, you're free to get up, as you said you would, and leave to somewhere else.

Oh I get it now, America is the devil spreading hate and suffering throughout the world. And here I thought it was just a conspiracy. Just imagine what you'd think of your horrible country if you knew what goes on outside the pages of a newspaper.

I don't think its a good thing to kill friendly foreign nationals.

I think it makes it "look" worse that they were just freed hostages even though two other people would be just as dead.

I doubt we killed friendly foreign nationals on purpose.

WE should admit a mistake and pay reparations to the dead people's families.

It would be the decent thing to do.
