Who are you?
Perhaps the radicals won't even think twice, but I gauruntee you they will have a deeper respect for their enemy and have more reason to fear the repercussions of there actions towards the rest of humanity. I again repeat it is the lesser of evils in a world that is not ideal. The atom bomb wasn'thumane either but that severe response was the only language the Japs undrstood and Hirohito accordingly signed an unconditional surrender. The world became a better place after that. Yes a big evil in one shot but the lesser evil when you consider it ended the war, and perhaps saved more lives in the end. The big picture. The lesser of evils. That is the only choice sometimes in a very sick world. If anyone has a better idea I'm all ears.
OMG, The "Japs" needed to be slaughter by 2 atomic bombs dropped on innocent civilains to teach them a lesson is ok by your standards. I see by your use of the term "japs" you view them as less human than your nationality. You villianize whole populations as worthy of mistreatment, and slaughter in order to make this world a better place, it sounds so typically racist, callous.
Frankie, you can call Tyrone all the names that you want (as if that sways anyone) but you can't effectively argue with his reasoning.

Ty,
One more thing. Before Frankie jumps on me while I'm sleeping for my comment about torture. I have a question for everyone in real time. If there was a person you knew had information about poisoning a water supply and was completly uncooperative and you knew thousands of people would die would you say pretty please and here's a smoke? or would you start giving him a little pain incentive to jog his memory. Remember this is war and national security is at risk. Some radicals understand only one word. Jihad
Apples and oranges bait and switch argument to try and prove torture and slaughter of innocent people is ok. You'd make a good speach writter for government propaganda.
If you saw someone torture your mother with no mercy or shoot a little girl in the head, would that make easier? In a lot of states such folks are put to death or locked up indefinatly. Isn't indefinite lockup a form of torture. Where do you draw the line. Being Humane and having dignity for all is just a matter of degrees. At leasty we have checks and balances in our system. I don't beleive any place in the world is perfectly humane unless you live in disneyland. Am I for torture. I find it revolting just as I find killing revloting, but I still think that the better part of the states intntions and code of ethics swings to a far better horizon than most of there enemies.
You use the term "enemies" so typically of a propagandist, it's "us or them" to promote the idea of torture and murder people is ok.
