On waterboarding and abortion

In the Sunday comics, Gary Trudeau in his Doonesbury strip (why isn’t he on the political page?) attacked Bush over waterboarding, stating Bush’s presidency was eight years of fear and lawlessness, calling his cabinet amoral leaders who stripped a nation of traditions of decency. I keep hearing commentators asserting that torture such as waterboarding is against the law in this nation.

If this is so, we should declare aborting fetuses by sticking a tube into their skulls or removing them from the womb piece by piece as torture, therefore illegal. The law is already there so the Supreme Court would not have to get involved.

If this horror was inflicted on any of us, we surely would think we were being tortured. Why is it liberals, who are mostly pro-abortion only focus on the minor discomfort inflicted on these terrorists who are bent on killing any innocents and don’t give the same consideration to these millions of innocents being aborted in horrendous ways? Wake up and open your eyes and hearts!

Speaking of decency, what is decent about a nation that allows this murder to continue? As an aside, let’s hope that President Obama is as successful in the next four years in keeping us from being attacked again as President Bush was. Does anyone think those criminals struck once and were satisfied? We can thank our government under President Bush for defeating them in this war they are waging against us.
