When we resort to barbarism, then WE ARE Tsarnaev.
So in answer to your question, even though I am not a lib...No.
Waterboarding is not barbaric. Our own soldiers have been subjected to it.
This kid would have given up his mother. Sang like a rock star. But we instead gave this guy a lawyer.
We're too stupid for our own good.
Sorry to disagree, but yes...it is barbaric.
My point is..when we become like radical muslims, then WE are our own enemy. We cannot fall to their level. Cannot. At least..I cannot.
As i said earlier, my son is in the Army and with his job he's been waterboarded at least twice....he said it really sucks, but it won't kill you! Radical muslims will just cut off your head. So no, you cannot compare the two! Do you really think that the terrorists will eventually just give up?? If they know they can come here and if caught they'll just get a slap on the hand, what is there to stop them? We need to make it so they don't want to take the chance of being caught!
