A radical transformation has occurred in the United States. There was a time when Saddam Hussein?s torture of Iraqi citizens was justification for regime change. Now torture of civilians is accepted as a legitimate military strategy. There was a time when using chemical weapons on crowds of innocent people would draw international outrage. Now anything is justified. There was a time when training young men for holy wars in religious camps was a hallmark of fanatics. Today, young Americans are being trained as Christian warriors, worshipping images of George Bush and preparing to die for their beliefs.
