America has a long history of viewing itself with an "apartness" from the rest of the world. This is now being hugely fueled by the pols who insist that we're "fighting the terrorists over there so we won't have to fight them over here."
What's the difference? We shouldn't be "fighting" them if that includes torture and dehumanization. If we resort to those tactics, haven't we debased ourselves to the point of un-civilization that we claim the "terrorists" occupy?
