I agree with you Skydiver....for the most part.
It's funny you see this beheading on the "news" because he is American. This is not new, do you know how many beheadings and executions there have been since Berg?
Eugene Armstrong, American, killed on 20 September
Nasser Juma, Egyptian, killed on 5 September
12 unnamed Nepalese hostages were killed on 31 August
Enzo Baldoni, Italian, killed on 26 August
Mohammed Mutawalli, Egyptian, killed on 10 August according to Islamist web site posting
Osman Alisan, Turkish, killed on 5 August according to Islamist web site posting
Murat Yuce, Turkish, killed on 2 August according to Islamist web site posting
Sajjad Naeem, Pakistani, killed on 28 July
Raja Azad Khan, Pakistani, killed on 28 July
Georgi Lazov, Bulgarian, killed on 13 July
Keith Matthew Maupin, American, killed on 28 June according to al-Jazeera television, but there is no official US conformation

Hussein Ali Alyan, Lebanese, killed on 12 June
Nick Berg, American, killed on 11 May
Fabrizio Quattrocchi, Italian, killed on 14 April
Most are not American so Americans dont really give a shit, which is sad. Once again, why do people generalize an entire culture for a few fanatics? "Nuke the whole country" this, "destroy islam" that. Sure these assholes who commit these actions should be brought to justice, but dont forget who began this senseless war to begin with.
I saw this beheading video last night and I must say it is the most distrubing one I have viewed yet. I wont go into detail as I'm sure most of you would prefer not to know, but I will say this: These guys know the risk of going to Iraq, and if they are killed, they cant blame anyone but themselves. They made a choice just like the US soldiers made a choice, just like the Iraqi militants made a choice, therefore I dont feel sorry for any of them. The only ones I feel sorry for are the civilians who wanted nothing to do with the war yet were killed. They did NOT have a choice.
Death is death, the Americans drop bombs on innocents killing thousands but nobody cares, one American gets beheaded and everyone is shocked? Makes no sense to me, people are so blinded by American media that they dont even know whats what anymore. Dont worry, Mr. Bush knows what he is doing...
