What's That Smell?

Two questions today:

1. How should we react to our government torturing people?
2. What is Kissinger doing here? Or as Dave Attell says, "What's that smell?"

1. In the past, other countries did similar things, so what's the problem? We're at war, no?
Why should we be better than the Khymer Rouge? After all, struggle is the father of all things. It is not by the principles of humanity that man lives or is able to preserve himself above the animal world, but solely by means of the most brutal struggle.

Oh, wait, I'm plagiarizing.

2. As for the other question, we finally see the proof that Bush wants to achieve a lasting peace in Iraq; why else would he have a Nobel Peace Prize winner advising him?

Wait, I have a quote from him as well:

No foreign policy—no matter how ingenious—has any chance of success if it is born in the minds of a few and carried in the hearts of none.

What does that mean? It gives us two options: either leave Iraq now or work harder on the propaganda.
