D. Colen5/18/04 >looking at the world in terms of ?good? and ?evil.? If you?re our ?enemy,? >you?re ?evil.? It?s that kind of language that allows the dehumanization of the >enemy, and the notion that we don?t need to abide by the Geneva conventions. Well, this also sounds childish to me. I listen to the good/evil language and hear the equivalent of kids screaming at each other, "you're a so and so." "well you're a bigger so and so." "we don't torture as bad as those guys." "when a civilian dies at our hands, we didn't mean it, it was an accident. but those guys actually wanted to kill us. we only kill precisely or by accident. what? >?Our God is >an Awesome God.? NO! OUR GOD IS THE AWESOME GOD. YOUR GOD IS NOTHING.
