Idiotarians: Showing the Body Photos like Mogadishu
Posted By John Moore on July 24, 2003
Next idiotarian talking point: showing the pictures of the dead Pig Latin brothers(Usay and Qusay) was offensive to Arabs in the same way that Americans were offended by the pictures of dead GI’s dragged through the streets of Mogadishu.
These same idiotarians are usually strong advocates of multiculturalism – that twisted ideology which asserts that the values of all other cultures are to be treasured and preserved, and incidently that those values are always superior to American values.
So perhaps they should study the Middle East. These days, pictures of the dead are common over there. Al Jazeera repeatedly showed gruesome pictures of the dead after a suspicious Baghdad marketplace explosion during the war. Palestinians carry the visible corpses of their dead “martyrs” through the streets in funeral celebrations.
Furthermore, showing pictures of the corpses of dead enemies in a society full of distrust and rumour is needed to establish the truth of their demise.
We followed the customs of the area, and idiotarians are attacking us because it violates American values!
Huh?
First of all, their bodies were not dishonored the way the Rangers were in Mogadishu.
Second, the decision to show the bodies in Mogadishu was not one that the military had control over.
Third, and this is most important: The Arab world also deals in the art of understatement.
Showing them dead says that we are surgical,
we will do what we say, and we could have done a whole lot more.
Like take out a mosque or a holy place, ferinstance.
MODERN PEOPLE SEEM UNWILLING TO READ OR THINK SEEING IMAGES OF THE EVIL OF ISLAM MAY HELP SHAKE OFF SOME OF THE PROTECTION AFFORDED BY POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
