Whilst the majority of your last post is your opinion based on a single media report to which you are clearly entitled (), the last paragraph is a little hysterical. To compare occasional illegal acts of violence in time of war which end in death to state sponsored genocide is a bit much. Year zero or Srebrenica, this is not.
The mistreatment (incl killing) of persons, someone has deemed Un-uniformed enemy combatants, their removal to interrogation centres, where the rule of law is not applied, differs how from similar actions inflicted by dictators that the West wishes to replace ?

I have avoided expressions like moral high ground because there is none in war.

How do you supposedly free people by inflicting the same terror on them that you claim to seek to replace.

The West through the media claim Noble deeds but I struggle to see how it is.
