No, it really isn't. See, America is a decent and idealist spiritual entity, and you have no use for its principles and prefer those of hell, so you have moved your loyalty from my nation to a location slightly lower. No doubt you do so in the belief that power and expediency reward ruthlessness and torture, since that after all is your religion. It is also Ahmadinejad's relgion - he learned his ideas of political conduct as a torturer and executioner in the early 1980s, devising ways to make men entirely within his power "sing" before cutting their throats. And he liked it, it gave him a hard on, it made him feel big and important and invincible, just like you, maybe more even. You've only had the initial course after all, and he still has more levels to initiate you into his special society of perverted power mad fiends. But you are coming along nicely and Screwtape is well pleased with your progress so far. The moral contagion of evil is working overtime and has already colonized what little there was on your conscience, and now will whisper to you how necessary it all is, how expedient, and meanwhile your mere twisted heart will be just glowing inside with your righteous power over these scum and the revenge of it all, and you too will get a hard on, and soon you will be looking around for people you can hit until you ejaculate, like the SS guards at Dachau. No, you are not an American, you haven't any idea what the word even means.

"...America is a decent and idealist spiritual entity........"

REALLY?

Most, if not ALL of the original 13 colonies used torture.The witch trials were not isolated to Salem, Mass.; there took place all over New England and in N.Y. state as well.

What YOU would call "torture" ( public ridicule , being placed in the stocks, having a piece of split wood attached to the tongue ) was used on criminals, as well on those who committed lesser "crimes", such as gossiping, missing a church service, caught napping, when they should have been working, etc.!

Once we were a nation, what you would call "torture" continued. Slaves were branded, beaten, and returned runaways had the tendons in first one and then the other leg severed.

You're quite facile at consigning me to hell, repeatedly, using vulgar/coarse sexual terms ( which are against posting rules, BTW ), claiming that "torture" is part of my "religion and distorting America, American history, war, what we have and have NOT done to prisoners. Frankly, this gives one pause, concerning your own credentials and standing; not to mention the state of your mental health.

How old are you and what is your religious affiliation?
