Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

It's not the media frenzy that's the problem. It's the that many extra suicide bombers.

There's rapes in wars? No way..
Unless there's 'significant' amount, meaning more than few single incidents separated from each other, I wouldn't worry, because it's normal.
Normal as in.. blah. It's trivial.
However, if there's a pattern or say, attempts to throw a blanket over these cases, I would worry.
but sure, yeah.. the ones captured.. should suffer the consequences. It's not just raping a person which is bad enough. It's also bad image, that will lead into more fighting spirit for the enemy and undoubtelty more killings.In da butt.

VetLegion, oh really? Suicide bombings have already changed US politics, or at least this can be claimed and backed up.In da butt.

Sucide bombers can't change US politics, media frenzy on the other hand, with time...
It's pathetic and unprincipled, but that's the way we are.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

OK, but considering most Americans
1) still can't point Iraq on the map
2) thought Saddam and Osama were in bed together
I think I can conclude that most people don't really get deep into analysing the situation?
It's mostly information snippets that go around and that affect what people think. If "raping Iraqi women" is spun enough times it could affect attitudes even of people who don't know where Iraq is. That's my line of thought.

BTW Beiji was a right nasty little town complete with an open sewer in the streets.
