Guilt by Nationality

I had a thought on this subject as it relates to both Senator Inhofe, and those who beheaded Nicolas Berg. I wonder if the Senator from Oklahoma feels the same toward the Berg situation as he does the Iraqi prisoners in Abu Graib. Because, by the Senator's very own logic that the abuse of Iraqi prisoners shouldn't be a source of concern because they have American blood on their hands, the beheading of Nicolas Berg shouldn't be upsetting because he had Iraqi blood on his hands...just as all Americans do. Considering that the beheading was carried out in retaliation for the abuse of Iraqi prisoners, there's really very little difference between the terrorists who executed Berg and Senator Inhofe. That's not to say that I think Inhofe is a terrorist, but his reasoning is similar to those particular terrorists. He believes the Iraqi prisoners deserve whatever abuse they get because they are Iraqis, and the terrorists believed Berg deserved what he got because he was American.
