Actually, what separates us from them is the fact that we won't murder their wives and children out of spite.
In fact, while engaging in a battle with those who murdered our unarmed loved ones, women, and children, we will take great pains not to harm their women and children. Even to the point of feeding and clothing them. And doing a better job of it than they ever could even if they weren't squandering their time and meager resources on killing our women and children.
Certainly, desecrating corpses is a sick and disgusting act and not to be tolerated, but we could crap on every last grave in Afghanistan and still be better than them.

Many posters on this thread would do exactly that. FR has a dark underbelly with this kind of thing. Thankfully, only a handful of Freepers have signed up for it, but there are some here for whom this kind of thread brings out their torture/murder fantasies in the same way a Britney Spears thread might be bring out their sexual fantasies. It's sick stuff, it's wrong, and it has to be confronted. I'm quite surprised that a poster of your stature is on their side, but like Piasa above, a few Freepers have taken leave of their commonsense since 911.
