1) be careful about your generalizations; the truth is, not many
countries actually have alliances with either USA or Israel.
Remember, we are specifically talking about alliances, the kind
that allows a foreign country to keep military bases on your
"sovereign" land. As far as I can tell, only Japan and us have such
a relationship with the USA. As for Israel, the entire middle east
is against it, not to mention a large proportion of Europe.
Economic ties and diplomatic ties are 2 different things.
Lots of countries have alliances. Singapore has alliances with
ASEAN members, USA, India, Israel, UK, Australia, France, NZ,
Taiwan, China, Sweden etc.
Who is Al Qaeda to interfere in our sovereign right as an
independent nation to make friends or trade with others. Who the F
gave them the bloody right! We must destroy them!
Anyway, people don't randomly decide to create caliphates; there
must be a trigger.
These fanatics believe the whole world belongs to Allah and it
is their duty to dominate the world.
One way or another, they have already decided what kinda stupid
caliphate they want and they are against us. They choose to fight
us so we must fight and kill them all. Everyone of them.
2) Ever read the Geneva Convention or the Second Optional Protocol
on Torture attached to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?
These are international laws, although countries which practice
torture usually don't ratify these or ratify these with long lists
of ambiguous reservations.
I studied the Geneva Convention, torture of terrorists is not
against the convention.
I suggest you read it yourself and stop talking about things you do
not know.
3) Hmmm ... correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think a mental
patient's testimony is accepted at a standard court of law. If the
terrorists crack, they will be in the same state as a mental
patient. Go and read up on post-torture trauma..
Not true, when they crack, they will give useful information
that will save thousands of innocent lives.
I think a mental patient will be against torture of terrorists for
information that will save lives. Not only a mental patient but an
immoral person. I think you need to wake up and send your head for
a check up my friend.

P.S.: Correct me if I'm wrong, but usually interrogations tend to
be composed of yes/ no questions so that the use of a lie-detector
will yield maximum effect.
Combine that with torture and it will yield fantastic results in
the war on terror. Whatever it takes to save innocent lives man,
whatever it takes.
