I think we should focus on the issue at hand, and not what the various parties think of the other.
The fact remains, showing the picture was a clear violation of the Geneva Convention. And Bush was wrong when he said it wouldn't incite further rioting, which obviously, it will.
However, that doesn't mean that the political right, or Bush, is to blame for this. I think Bush stated an opinion he had, which noone can fault him. It was, however, naive of him to think so. But I have to say in his defense. I'd have thought it wouldn't incite rioting myself. But obviously that's a mistake to think
The picture shouldn't have been made public, but it is, and that can't be changed now.
And WBAM should remember that while many of the American troops who're in Iraq (who obviously by far outnumbers other nations troops stationed there) might be conservative, a large number of the troops from the allied nations are made up by liberals.
The current British government leans to the left side, does it not?
The Danish government, though one of the parties is the conservative, the other is built on liberal principles.
But still, the picture is there now, even though it shouldn't have been published.
The newsweek story is what I'd call truly outrageous, for that, there is no excuse
