Open your eyes to terrorists’ mentality

Was it right for those Marines to urinate on those “poor terrorists?” Maybe not. Was it right for the people who were involved in hanging the charred bodies of American soldiers from a bridge in Iraq? This was done by the people for whom those soldiers gave their lives. You know, it's time for the American people to open their eyes to the reality of the mentality of all of those people. Many are not civilized. Their governments are all totally corrupt, using fear and brutality to run their countries the same way they have done for hundreds of years.
Ask some of the parents who have lost their sons or daughters to these wars if they are really offended by the incident! Ask the parents of the kids who have come home with horrific wounds who will never be the same because of those “terrorists.” Ask someone who was tortured and in unbelievable pain what their opinion is. They might be afraid to tell you because of the fear of death.
