Which bothers you more, the spelling errors or the truth in my statements? ;P

No. I guess it will be OK for you if another country decided to take away rights from US prisoners. Don't tell me americans have never been captured elsewhere. ;P I could argue other things with you, may be another time.

Dear Mr. Bush, I hereby decline your offer to send a terrorist to my home due to enomical hardship. I used to be able to afford it, but you have done an excellent job destroying the economy and the typical American dream. However, I would like to serve as the chief of a federal prison for your government since like many others, I don't have a job to go to everyday. I am afraid that you misunderstood my previous letter. What I am asking is fair and equal treatment of all prisoners, including those suspected of serial killing and terrorism. If they are found quilty in the court of law and sentenced to death, then don't wait, kill them and kill them now. If we don't have proof that they broke the law and just want to hold them in prisons while we investigate the cases, then go ahead. But we should not hold people in prisons indefinitely without charging them. We should offer clean food and water to even convicted terrorists, like we do so to other prisoners. This is not a liberal thing, this is our law, I am sure as president you know the process to change a law if you don't like it. You seem to be confusing muslims with other groups of people. But that is not a surprise because confusion is the defining feature of your administration. Sincerely, A citizen who is pround of being an American.

Richard Stringer wrote: Not quite the same thing. Humans and dogs have an almost symbiotic relationship that goes back several hundred thousand years. What you said are absolutely true if you are restricting your "civilisations" to those of western countries only. People in the west treat dogs as their family members, but you call a person a dog in another country (say, China), it might be the biggest insult. I am not really a dog-eater, just using this to make a point.

What is your point? Do you mean it is silly to arrest either dog owners or pig owners? Do you not agree that it is silly to allow poeple to kill pigs for food but not allowing them to kill dogs for food (and cows)? I don't understand your logic, may be we don't have an argument after all. ;P

Tim Smith wrote: But they did invade US territory and take hostages. They held them for 444 days. That is true. Do you consider it a more serious crime than assasinating another country's elected leader? Is it alright if the crime is done by a democratic country? I am not defending or attacking anyone, just want o point out some hypocrisy here.

Paul Oss wrote: Until of course they start flying airplanes into buildings in someone elses country to protest 'Western lifestyles'. Then we start playin' spanky-bottom. If I remember correctly, they (the iranians) never crashed any plane in any western countries. The US on the other hand shotdown their commericial passenger plane flying outside the US. Of course it just a "human error" all of us should forget.

Brit wrote: But owning a dog is cruel to who? I don't know how the iranians will answer this question, but off the top of my head: owning a dog is cruel to the millions of starving children. I don't really enjoy dog-meat. My point is, as I already said, different countries have different ways of living. There are plenty of cruelty in the USA, but people grew up here don't notice.

What is the big deal? Different countries have different ways of living. Ok, people in Iran don't have the freedom to own a dog, but I don't have the freedom to enjoy a dog-meat dish in the USA. Did you see any beef sandwich sold in India (MacDonald and Burger King will never prosper there, I guess)?
