Photos.

This is coolbert:

One of the renowned Brazilian sertanista brothers Villas Boas was one time quoted on the difference between the civilized man and the barbarian. "The civilized man and the barbarian both commit the same outrageous crimes", said this man. "The civilized man, however, will attempt to hide his crime, whereas the barbarian does not."

[In this case, the sertanista Villas Boas was speaking of the last uncontacted barbarian American Indian tribes dwelling in the deepest recesses of the Amazonian jungle. Tribes that live totally devoid of any modernity AT ALL!! Tribes of stone age "savages" [barbarians] leading a totally stone age existence. [And quite often resisting with extreme violence any efforts to bring them into the modern world.]]

[The sertanista is a uniquely Brazilian profession. Men that dedicate themselves, at great risk to themselves, to contacting and establishing friendly relations with stone age peoples of the Amazon. Stone age peoples wary and not seeking contact with the outside world.]

Today, in the war between the West and the jihadi, we see the difference between the civilized and the barbarian in action. A difference that would be appreciated by the brothers Villas Boas.

I am thinking about the photographs and videos that have come out of the Abu Ghraib prison scandals, and also the photographs and videos that have come out of the Chechen war between Russian troops and the Chechen jihadi rebels [terrorists [???]].

In the case of the Abu Ghraib photographs, the offenders are shown as smiling, grinning, posing goofs. People that apparently are doing what they are doing and having a good time doing it. YES!!

But, does anyone in the U.S. approve of this stuff? Does anyone applaud the goofs?

NO!!

Does anyone NOT wish those photographs were taken.

[I do believe there was a half-hearted effort to prevent the photos from Abu Ghraib from being seen by the general public and the world-at-large. An effort to HIDE!!]

NO!! NO one NOW wishes the photos were taken.

And taken for what reason?? Why compound the deed by recording for the whole world to see?

These folks seem to be just undisciplined for soldiers and totally out of control and out of line. NO leadership present or perhaps miscreant leadership present. But, NO ONE in the U.S. approves of this stuff!!

Contrast this NO response with the photographs coming out of Chechnya.

I am thinking here of the photographs of the nine Russian OMON troops captured, and subsequently beheaded in cold blooded murder by the Chechen jihadis.

And I am thinking of other photographs and video of the same sort of behavior emanating out of Chechnya.

[I refer to the Chechens here as jihadis as their mentor, until his recent demise, was a one Khuttub. A Saudi Arabian, like Osama, that preached and led while he was alive the violent rebellion in Chechnya. This Khuttub was a Wahabbi fundamentalist and a man dedicated to jihad in the form of lesser or violent jihad. And jihad to the max. Advocating the most extreme and violent acts, including what can only be described as terrorism.]

In the case of the nine OMON troops, it has been described that the bodies were put on display for the whole world to see. It may be that the severed HEADS were also put on display along with the bodies. I cannot verify this.

In addition to the nine OMON troops beheaded, Chechen "fighters" have had additional videos taken of them decapitating Russian soldiers.

And this thing has been noticed. Those Chechen perpetrators seen in the videos, are apparently in a state of GLEE. Delirious with enjoyment. Smiling, grinning, having A GOOD OLD time!! These perpetrators of atrocity are in ECSTASY!!

[Iris Chang noticed the same thing when researching material for "The Rape of Nanking". Nazi killers of Jews are grim faced. Seem to be workmanlike, but are NOT enjoying what they are doing. Japanese soldiers beheading Chinese prisoners are seen smiling, grinning, again, having A GOOD OLD time!!]

And NO effort is made to hide or suppress the photos or the videos. On the contrary. Every effort is made to circulate this stuff on the internet, for the whole world to see.

"The civilized man and the barbarian both commit the same outrageous crimes", said this man. "The civilized man, however, will attempt to hide his crime, whereas the barbarian does not." [one of the brothers Villas Boas].

Nuff' said!!??

[Please note: I would never say or even remotely suggest that there is an equivalence between making a naked man masturbate and beheading a kneeling, defenseless person. What the Chechens did is just magnitudes beyond anything that occurred at Abu Ghraib!! For me to suggest or say otherwise would put me in the same league as say - - Senator Durbin!!]

Khuttub, when slain not so long was ago, had HIS body put on display by the Russians. To show the Chechens and the whole world, especially the jihadi world, that the villain was indeed dead. His body, naked except for a loincloth, was photographed laying atop an autopsy table.
