Why is it that we are suddenly so appalled by the desecration or mutilation of dead bodies as just occurred in Fallujah?
My opinion is that the very worst form of desecrating a body is to kill it. Yet the popular outrage seems directed at the treatment of the remaining organic molecules.
Which is more indicative of barbarism; to defile a corpse or to take a human life? Why do we feel the way we do? Was the US military right to not attempt an immediate recovery of the bodies? If it were to be your own body, how would you feel? What if it were a loved one?
