Who was more evil, Hitler or Stalin?

The ruthless guy on the other side is always the evil one, along with his false religion and God.

Bush may have killed hundreds of thousands, Sadaam may have killed as many, and who knows about the Taliban or Osama.

Ever consider that they are all evil and the guy working in the gas chamber to save his own butt is just as evil as the guy sniping at the "enemy" or strapping a bomb around his waste.

Maybe you guys voting for the power structure, Democrats/Republicans, are complicit also, since you do it to get what you want at the expense of slavery and death for others.

Or what about holders of public stock in companies that profit from war or pollution, etc.? They take profit, but are they responsible?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Doly', '
')From what I've read, nurses generally do a much more thorough job. What Mother Theresa was up to was the most basic level of care. But then, nobody was doing it at all before her.

[threadbear]

Mother Theresa is quoted as saying it's worth all the suffering of the baby, the grief of the mother and society in general, that a baby should be born and experience just 2 minutes of life and then die. For in that 2 minutes the infant has time to contemplate the glory of God and that is basically the sole purpose of existence, so the being has fulfilled it's purpose in life. Sick, sick, sick.

This is twisted logic and a form of cruelty that seems to know no bounds. What a pig. Life is sacred, but the beast Theresa couldn't see that she was reducing the sacred to a sick fetish.

Organized religion should be banished. Those who wish to practise their preferred form of pronoia should do so in the privacy of their own homes. And I am neither atheist nor wholly agnostic.

Regarding the evilness of the insurgents:
I found this "code of silence" six part propaganda film on youtube that for me at least shed some light on who some of these guys are (I guess they come in all stripes). If you can stand the obnoxious narrator, there are things to be learned regarding their MO.
In part five, they get all A-team on a taxicab - not to be missed. I find the weaponization of consumer electronics to be significant.

When this war kicked off, I though the maturity of camcorder and internet technology would lead to a flood of citizen video journalism coming from Iraq. This has not happpened in the way I thought it would, so as a thinking person trying to grasp what's going on over there, I find that my best option is to sift through propaganda from both sides, as reality must be somewhere in between.

Name of show - or better yet a torrent link - would be much appreciated (if the show was any good that is).
There are some good docus featuring US soldiers. "Occupation Dreamland" and "the War Tapes" come to mind as being among the better ones. Calling them objective would be stupid, as there is no such thing, but it felt like I got just a whiff of reality from them.

Doesn't have the same ring as "God, Queen and Country".

How about "For God, Moronic Chickenhawk President and Country"?

Or "For Oil, Wall Street and Hypocrisy"?

I was talking to a guy who had just got back from Iraq. He said that news reports are way too negative and everything is getting better over there. Ha Ha! not really he said it sucks and is a hell hole.

The guy I was talking to said that many things are already being run by Syrians and Iranians. He was pissed off too because he saw his own commander payoff a known insurgent in exchange for info on an area. They wanted to know how hot an area was because they were supposed to take a Colonel on a fact finding tour.

He said it was friggin mess and if you went out of the base on patrol you were bound to be hit be an ied eventually.

The guy that blew up the 70 guys looking for work yesterday might have been evil.

I think Vietnam is a poor comparison. In Vietnam there was the North and the South, in Iraq there is a whole hodgepodge of forces fighting it out.
