I see your point. We're over there killing although not intending to yet
it's a necissary evil and part of war, and then we bitch about beheadings
and the like.
while images of beheadings are sickening in themselves
We need to ask ourselves are we any better doing what we're doing.
but again, look at the various images nick berg, just to name one, and
various others that had been beheaded and the mirders publicly paraided on
the internet for all to download and look at.
this is what we're up against.
would be nice if we could just go in and resolv things by way of
negotiation and such but we've gone down that path before to no avail.
I'm not overly happy with the situation we're in now but, what else can we
do?
