A Marine is Beheaded in Iraq

that Saddam has defended himself by saying he needed to take drastic measures to preserve order in the country. I believe that the kill them all response of many people shows that a lot of folks agree with his tactics in their guts>>>>>>> Hollow

Everyone has rage; civilized people don't act upon it. Posts talking about mass eradication are simply letting off steam. Suggesting that many people would seriously agree with Saddam's tactics helps blur the line between the actions of the US and the actions of Saddam. It is part of a largely unconscious wave of misperception sweeping avante garde Europe and the Left US.

You know, even Hitler thought he was doing good to gas Jews, a favor to the rest of us of purer blood. That one could consider gassing Kurds a logistical problem does not moraly compare to the US attempt to bring a better world through a free Iraq.

I belonged to the "Left" when it represented what I thought was the most common sense. No longer. I never thought I'd vote Republican- but there you go. I never thought the Party of reform and change would be against school vouchers either, as the Democrats are today. The democrats are the status quo, while the Republicans have represented real change the last 10 years. Too bad they don't get credit for being avante garde.

I was thinking about what I'd do if I were that Marine and here's what I came up with. I'd ask them to video the beheading and just before the deed was done I'd holler, "Semper Fi and God Bless America." My best effort to get back at the bastards.
 
I was wondering something like that too, and thought the soldier might be gagged to prevent it.

As someone who has done alot of studying of muslim cultures, I can state emphatically that the Koran forbids muslims to kill other muslims. Among exremists they make strange round arguments about why they can kill western civilians and still be justified religiously, but there is no justification for their actions in Iraq, in which they kill mostly fellow muslims. How can you fight for a religion by killing your fellow brethren? These terrorists are not religious, they are only scum of the most heinous degree. I pray for this captured marine and his family, and hope there will be a happy resolution. But the very fact that they are so readily willing to kill innocent fellow muslims, must highlight that these terrorists are not fighting in the name of Islam, but only in the name of hate. Anyways, if you hear many Iraqis talk, they want hard retalliation against these foreign fighters. They want executions, they want hard justice. It is the West (you know who I mean) that prevents this. It is sad when people justify their inaction by claiming to be behind Iraqis, when the Iraqis themselves want action. Anyways, hopefully there is good news. The Today show just announced that the brother of this marine had spoken to him, and he had stated he has been released. Let us continue to pray for all those affected by tragedy.
 
Since Sunnis and Shites fight, it is probable the rationalization is that neither represents 'true Islam'. Wahhabis have been blowiing up other Moslems for decades. They were universally despised until recently, when Uncle Sam filled their target.
