40. Yes. Colombia sucks. But how is that relevant in a thread about Cuba?
Often, when I write about the torture policies that the Bush administration has implemented, some wingnut will respond by talking about atrocities committed by Al Qaeda or Iran. It always puzzles. It's as if pointing to others' horrible acts is supposed to excuse the political leader under discussion. Or maybe just distracts.
I'm always quite quick to point out the complete irrelevance of that. Bush should be tried for war crimes. It doesn't matter that other leaders have done worse.
