" "topical." Female beauty is always of interest. "

Well, "topical" is different than "interest." Perhaps if you would have originally written "interest", I would not have posted. Art is not always "topical", which your backtracking would seem to demontrate.

"Fox hounds? Still going on outside of jamesgarvinville."

Well, the painging in question was drawn by a German artist in 1927, when fox hunts were hardly "topical", so I guess it would not qualify as art? On other hand, given your backtracking as set forth above, I expect you now know this.

"We have instituted torture policies and prisons in which to torture. We have redefined what "torture" is to our services, allowing the CIA to operate outside of it."

Further proof that you can not see the forest through the trees, or process information in a cognitive fashion. To wit, your analysis seems to be that because the U.S. has prisoners, and the Nazi had prisoners, and there was torture under both, to varying degrees, the U.S. is like the Nazis, at least in respect to Iraq. Simple minded to be sure. Nazis did not torture to get information. Nazis did not torture to, as the U.S. would suggest, obtain information. The Nazis murdered innocent men, women, and children for no other reason that they were of the wrong nationality. No allegations they were members of a terrorist group. No allegations of any plots against the government. If you equate this fundamental difference as simply one being more "vicious" than the other, you are more pathetic than I gave you credit.
