THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM AND US
or, "I can't get off the Iraq thing."

At Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, some American soldiers committed crimes. They broke the rules. Our rules. America's people are aghast, America's leaders are angry, and we will punish those soldiers.

In another part of Iraq, the enemy decapitated an American civilian in front of TV cameras. Before that, the enemy held knives to the throats of Japanese civilians in front of TV cameras. And before that the enemy murdered an Italian civilian. Did they break the rules? Apparently not their rules. Their leaders are pleased, their comrades are pleased. They will be rewarded.

Check that. They will be punished, someday. We will punish them. That's the one thing we have in common.
