Rant: Humanity, Not Polarity

I am just sick of all of the polarizing movements in the world right now. Bush's labeling Islamic Fascists. Self-proclaiming Islamists claiming the holy right to kill anyone who disagree with them (and I am not saying that is all Islamists). And others, that take world events and put an interpretation with them that help to motivate themselves and others to do evil (like kill humans) need to feel the shame they rightly deserve. The rest of us that can appreciate the truth and know that no good comes from evil need to passionately share this truth with those that choose evil as their means to good (which is a false path).
For me this came to fruition this week, my heart pained as I listened to my fellow citizens argue for torturous treatment of those they consider an enemy. I think we have to hold a higher standard. We will and should not take on the evil of our enemy in our passion to defend ourselves from him. Those that have the will and the way to kill us should be stopped. They should be treated as wayward children that have lost their way. Yes, they are dangerous and it may be necessary to kill them. But, only if they refuse to submit to justice. And, justice should be administered in a parental manner. Even the most motivated and evilly motivated terrorist is worthy of respect as a human. Albeit, a human who has allowed himself to become horribly misled. We, the good, should not intentionally torture such an already tortured soul. We may need to kill or permantently hold such an individual in prison to protect others, but to be cruel is not our nature. We are the good!
Many Americans (and likely many other people of Earth) feel this way. With any luck it is the majority of us. Let the good stand up to the evil and make a difference. Don't support evil regardless of its label.
