Americans violating "human rights" in Afghanistan!

I don't understand how peeing on a corpse is a human rights violation while killing a person is not. I am sure that the right to live is a far more primary human right than the right not to be peed on when you are dead. So if the Americans can take away innocent lives, what's so more wrong with peeing on dead people, that Hillary Clinton had to immediately get apologetic?

In fact, the whole episode now seems like a comedy of errors. Firstly, it's ridiculous to pee on a dead body, and then also have someone make a video of you doing that. Forget the dead person - who is not even alive to realize he has some right that's violated, what's wrong with those alive and laughing with their Johnsons out? Have they got no shame? Perhaps they lose it in the Army, with all the ragging they undergo in trainings. Or, let's join the party and put a hackneyed blame on the American Culture!

Secondly, the rest of the world got an excuse to point fingers on the Americans, blaming them of human rights violations. Human rights of dead people? I strongly believe that war is the most stupid thing humans do. Still, if it seems justified to you, I think you cannot talk about human rights violation of people directly involved in a war, coz although a war may have a larger end, the means is always killing enemy soldiers. In fact, as I thought about it now, I find it extremely absurd that we humans maintain large batallions of people exclusively meant for killing and getting killed in a war, such that their killing and they killing such people on enemy's side is totally acceptable to both parties, yet any one of them even causing the slightest scratch on any person other than these bakras will be said to have caused a human rights violation.

Anyway, the world and its ways are terribly screwed. Go ahead and watch this video... the Lady is very cute. She really looks very concerned and worried. But does a very good job of giving the complete picture.

God save America.
