I heard that our dear Chancellor Mr. Schröder said something along the lines of "The dedication and determinism with which America is leading the investigations concerning the torture incidents clearly shows how well the american democracy works"
I just thought like "Excuse me, but I havent seen any dedication to investigate anything there, and I dont think the american democracy is working well in the first place!"
In fact, I think there is a lot of shit going on wherever american soldiers show up. There have been many reports about this, and they seem to make it a tradition, it was reported in Corea, Vietnam, south America and now Iraq, not to forget Guantanamo.
I find it a shame that none of our politicians would speak up and put some pressure on the US, urge them to accept and respect the Human Rights everywhere, without exceptions.
AI presented their annual report like a week ago and said that not even on their own soil, the Human Rights are garantueed, but that torture is also practiced in the american prisons...
There was an article on one of the most reliable german news pages ( www.tagesschau.de ) that the US have centers of investigation, specialised for terrorists and comparable criminals. Torture seems to be part of the daily work there...
Today, George W. Bush attended the Liberation Fesitvities in Rome, and someone in the crowd carried a US Flag with the Nazi Cross on it.. I couldnt help but think that the man did have a point..
I think it's way past the point that someone says something.. that we dont leave all the work to the Human Rights Organizations but help keeping up the public interest, because that seems to be what is important here.
I just think it's a shame to treat America like one of the western countries as long as they keep these barbaric systems running.
Just to make it clear, Im not saying "Fuck America", Im just pointing out what really bugs me about their administration these days, and I hope people will reply in an apropriate way. Thanks
