Look, no matter where you live, the biggest defect we human beings have is our short sightedness. We don't see what we could be.

I think what's going on in Guantanamo Bay and other places is a disgrace to the U.S.A. I wouldn't say it's the cause of terrorism, but it has given impetus and excuses to potential terrorists to lash out at our country and justify their despicable acts. ↗
