Looks to me like you are in Arizona.  But forgive us if we find it hard to
believe that one civilian, supposedly in Afghanistan, could possibly know
everything that is going on in the country.

Also, if you read the story, you would see that it was referring to the
Northern Alliance, not US troops, killing prisoners.  You should know what
the Northern Alliance is if you are working in Afghanistan...

Ah, the classic, "Love It, or Leave It" bullshit argument.  The fallacy of
the False Dilemma.  How about a third option of "Change It" as a possible
response?

The United States is renown around the world for reinventing itself when it
finds that something no longer suits it, unlike other countries that stay
stuck in tradition even when they know something doesn't work.  If you don't
want to make changes for the better in the way the United States conducts
itself in the world, then perhaps you would be better off in another country
mired in tradition.
