War.. What is it good for? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

I'm not a political person. I have certain views and no information or facts to back them up. I believe what I believe because I feel in my heart I am right. Having said that, I think this war we are having is ridiculous. I was just on Facebook (love it) and read the status of an old friend of mine. Here is what it said:
Friend: Okay this Waterboarding issue is stupid...Abu Zubaydah is and always will be a Terrorist! He wants to kill US! What is wrong with dunking the guy to get information that will save and did save us?! Our 'interrogation' techniques are NOTHING like theirs!!! They start cutting off fingers than go to other limbs and than beheads as they get the information! UGH this is making me sick! Can you tell...LOL
Her other friend: Our nation is turning into a bunch of pu**ies! I say do whatever necessary to teach these motherf***era not to screw with motherf***in USA!
Me: Umm you guys are scaring me. Humans need to be treated like humans. So what if they do worse things in interrogation... does that mean we need to follow suit? We aren't a third world country lacking humanity for others and I hope we don't become one.
Friend: my dear Megan...love ya and actually am proud of your thinking but since I know only too well that those ANIMALS are not human like us. I know only too well how they kill and I have lost too many I love to what they did on 9/11 and that my Love continues to put his life out there knowing how evil these things are for you and I to be safe! We ... Read Morecannot look at them as humans...they are monsters! Water boarding is not extreme at all, turning up ACDC or keeping them in a cold room is not bad...but what they do to our troops, it makes me sick and our media does not let us know the extreme...I do know.
Her other friend: I agree wholeheartedly with you !!!
Friend: Oh I think there are many that agree with me...it's those that just don't get it. They have never had to hear the stories from those that are over there and just cry because your heart is breaking what these animals are all about....oh you know I wish I could say so much more....*wink* but if I did, I'd have to 'kill ya'...LOL *wink*
Me: To each his own :-)

I really don't understand. Human beings are "monsters"??!! I understand that certain people are more evil than others, and I agree that some people don't deserve air (like serial killer, child molesters, murderers and rapists) but I think everyone should have a fair trial no matter who they are or what they've done (or what country they've come from.) Just because our soldiers are given courtesies doesn't mean we need to turn around a torture others. That thought makes me sick. And what's with all these "Don't mess with fucking America" people? Really?? I understand the love of our nation, I really do... and I understand and believe that 911 was a tragedy that didn't need to happen, and I grieved like the rest of Americans and people worldwide; but at some point this hate and violence has to stop.

I'm for peace... and that's all I got today.
