Ritual beheadings for everyone!

| #7 Ritual human sacrifice was a BIG part of all Meso-American religion: they all did it to some degree. The Aztecs carried it to its "logical" extreme - grotesque, nightmarish rituals (google "xipe totec" for a taste), many including children, on a scale never before seen. The classic Maya were more "refined" - i.e. they didn't rip beating hearts out of living people. Instead, they took noble captives of battle and tortured them publicly for extended periods before cutting off their heads ... sounds eerily familiar. *SIGH* Some things never change. |

| #5 mojo: Yeah, nice folks, the Aztecs. That's why when Cortez showed up, all their neighbors were happy to help wipe them out. The people profiled in the article are the predecessors of the Aztecs. When the Aztecs showed up, they discovered the abandoned (and burned) city. Turns out the Aztecs weren't much worse than their predecessors. Leave it to CNN to whitewash the history of the Aztecs - no mention is made of their equivalent atrocities, which included the practice of dining on the hearts of enemy captives by cutting them out while the victims were still alive. |

| #4 If we met the Aztecs in 2004, the Left would demand that we ask ourselves why Aztecs are so angry at us. And we'd have Aztec sensitivity training for the FBI. And kids in school would learn about the wonderful Aztec religion as well as celebrate its sacrificial parties. Carthage was destroyed. Aztecs were eliminated. Nazis were crushed. Bushido Japan got to test our nuclear bombs. And the Moslems... ... may profit from their example. |
