Quote by: NewCivilisation Of course there are no calls to examine some of the secular military ‘madrassahs’ these American and British soldiers have graduated from, or any investigations in trying to understand what causes some western soldiers to mete out such degrading, brutal and often lethal abuse. |
A most profound, yet seemingly obvious observation that I have yet to see articulated anywhere. Until we are ready to understand the motivation of the West, we are really grasping at straws as to how the issues can be resolved.
I believe this to be the very core of the disagreement. The West is not ready to examine its own motivations for infringing on the rights that it holds sacred for itself, yet denies others.
