Hi. As a member of the young generation that will one day
lead this country, I am very concerned about people who are
mean to Iraqi prisoners and then take embarrassing photos
of them while they're naked.
First of all, it is wrong to abuse prisoners —even if
they started it first. No matter how much we hate Middle Eastern
people and want to beat them up, I feel that this kind of
behavior is very, very wrong and must stop immediately. Middle
Eastern people are just like us in many ways, even though
we have more money and are smarter and use things like soap
and shampoo.
Just because someone might be angry at prisoners does not
give people the right to run around attaching dog leashes
to them and then taking photos while they're naked and all
gross-looking. How would you feel if somebody put a hood over
your head and made you get naked and then took pictures of
you? That's exactly my point. You probably wouldn't like it
at all!!
I know how it would feel to be embarrassed and humiliated
by these kinds of photos because my ex-boyfriend Brian Lemming
happens to have a very small penis and if, by chance, naked
pictures of him were passed around to everyone in the school
and to his new girlfriend Amy, he would be probably be very,
very upset if he ever found out. He might never speak to me
again, even though we're no longer dating and he does have
a small penis, which is very clear in all the photos.
Anyway, people who are in charge of prisons should be nice
to the prisoners because they probably will be nice back.
Instead of attaching electric wires to their testicles and
threatening them, you should shake their hand and say things
like "you and I might be friends if we weren't in prison
and you weren't Middle Eastern." Laughing and pointing
at a naked pile of prisoners is not being nice, unless they
wanted you to do that.
I realize that forming human pyramids is usually a lot of
fun and my Powder Puff team does it all the time, but it's
different when it's a bunch of guys who aren't on the Powder
Puff team or understand how fun it can be.
In conclusion, instead of hurting Iraqi prisoners, people
should take a deep breath and count to ten and only pass around
the photos if they are really funny and nobody finds out.
Because then, feelings won't be hurt.
All I am saying is give peace a chance.
