Nothing surprising. Torture, cruelty and murder is in the blood of white americans.
First they massacred the Natives
Then enslaved and tortured Africans.
Afterwards they exported this violence to countries like Mexico, Cuba, Philipines, Panama, Indonesia, Nicaragua and finally to Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan.
As much as they may pose to be humanistic, they are worse than animals.
Let us not forget that this is a nation that fought a war to continue slavery, when it had ended in all the rest of the world. The last nation on earth to abolish slavery has the nerve to call itself land of the free. :D
