Was ISIS' burning the Jordanian pilot unforgiveable?

[Delta4Embassy]

But this is ok because we did it? But if anyone does it to us or our friends it's not ok? And if you think it's an unfair comparison because this is a drawing and not real, I can link to real video and imagery. But I choose not to trusting the realness of our own sins isn't in dispute.

We're being conditioned to hate everybody but ourselves and our friends condemning them for doing exactly what we ourselves have done and usually on much larger scales. Every war features propaganda from both sides. But pretending either side is blameless or innocent or horrible atrocities against human life is foolish. Even more now with the internet making retrieval of these things something anyone can do in just moments.

Define forgive. It's always possible to forgive individuals. It's probably impossible, and really bad thing to do, to "forgive" something totally evil and without excuse.

As to flame throwers and WWII, both sides were armed. It's easy to say we were "right" and they were "wrong," and I honestly believe democracy had to triumph over totalitarianism, though avoiding war through diplomacy is preferable, when possible. But, I don't think you are making any valid comparison here between Isis burning an unarmed caged prisoner, and armed combat.

We seemed to forgive this didn't we, well some people still remember, but most have forgotten:

Shocking footage shows Israeli police savagely beating American teen cousin of Palestinian boy, 15, burned alive in revenge attack over death of three Jewish youths

• Mohammed Abu Khder, 16, was kidnapped and found murdered Wednesday
• Autopsy results show he was burned to death

I watched but did they ever find the ones who burnt this boy to death and prosecute them? I doubt it.

I don't think it's "wrong" for individuals to do terrible things in war .... against enemy combatants. There are grey lines. Firebombing Dresden in WWII. the A-bombs. That's not to make moral judgements, but rather to say I won't judge other's beliefs on the specific actions. However, there's no comparison between burning a prisoner in a cage, and using a flame thrower to destroy a bunker containing people shooting at, and trying to kill, you.

Who said good guys don't do bad shite in war? It all sucks. But soldiers doing horrible things are usually not the same thing as simply intentionally killing a helpless person by the cruelest means available. Whatever lame comparison you're trying to make aside, the US didn't gas Jews to exterminate an ethnic group, and we don't countenance putting prisoners in cages and setting them on fire.

Really and not for political reasons. Some of the Politicians love war, the neocons that wrote PNAC, have produced a following.

 

[Delta4Embassy]

War's become a business. To claim no one likes war is patently and demonstratably false. The American corporations supplying the military with everything now from q-tips to aircraft carriers LOVE war. They make lots of money the longer they go on. And the politicians who accept campaign donations from them love it to because they get more money themselves.

Only people not especially fond of war are the ones called upon to fight them.
