MOO, it is not so much about "mirror imaging," a topic that sparked an unending debate during the Cold War. It is more about us holding to our own values and our own best practices.

The objective of the original plan was to end permanently the threat Germans were believed to pose to the international security of all nations. Fortunately, American and British statesmen developed alternatives that were closer to western values, within the realm of possible policy options, and reflected confidence in the strength of Western culture.

"killing a guest, even if it's an infidel . . . haraam (forbidden). So remember, never forget this, as long as your are within a village, you are safe.
