I understand why you would keep walking but please don't take the high road on Western Culture by ignoring Humanitarian Law as if Eastern Culture is exempt from Humanitarian Laws.
I never said they are exempt. Not even close.

I said that one needs to really see things through their eyes to understand what is going on over there.

I understand rape, murder, infidelity, chronic masturbation, bestiality, and Jessica Simpson, but that doesn't mean I endorse or like them. It just means that by understanding them I can better evaluate them in reference to my own ethics and morality.

So it's not a high horse I'm on. Drop the "cowpoke."

If someone presented the case, in a debate thread, with both my argument (they have a different culture) and your statement (that doesn't justify violating Humanitarian Law) it would be more effective than linking to pictures of dead children.
