... fill in whatever you think is appropiate.

Awful things are happening in Iraq, and at other places too, every day. Oh how I wish we humans were a little more civilized.

Around 10.000 now. A sad figure and nothing to celebrate. War is sick, from whatever angle you look at it.

@unicorn,

Yeah, you can sure say that again! Search for this file and view it to see how depraved some humans are:

Its exceeds the allowed attachment size, otherwise I would attach it (1.166 MB). In any case it is probably too graphic for most people to watch without gagging. It certainly put into perspective the type of people who are the enemies of civilization and freedom.

@ Tomboy,

I would suggest not posting a link of the video for I just saw it. I think it is way too graphic for a family type forum such as B1... Believe me, if someone does want to see it, it is scattered all over the internet.

May we find those who are responsible for this and bring them to justice. Beheading a human being over humiliating pictures of what has been going on in Iraq is so scewed up. It just pisses me off. :angry:

@SlickVic78,

Rest assured that the humiliating pictures recently publicized was NOT the reason for this murder. It was just the convenient excuse of the moment. It could just have easily have been US bases in Saudi Arabia, or US support of Israel, or because it rained today (or not). These murderers enjoy killing and see it as their duty to kill anyone who doesn't agree with them. If they are not brought to justice by men in this life, they will eventually be brought to justice by God after they die. I believe that there must be a special extra hot section of hell set aside for these kinds of brutal cold blooded killers.

The murder happened in March, before the pictures of humiliating the prisoners were released, so the beheading has nothing to do with the pictures. These savages never need a reason to kill, they just enjoy it. The U.S. shouldn't be there fighting someone else's battles AGAIN, but that's not why these terrorists are doing what they're doing.

Also, the Iraqis are quick to show our prisoners being mistreated, but they start crying when the situation is reversed.

I really do hope they get what's coming to them... And to think this could have been someone in our own families... I feel bad for his family that they have to go through this and even have his execution available online.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized what you were saying... You are right when you say it could have been for any reason other than the pictures. It just makes me sick to my stomach that we live in a world where things so barbaric can take place.

A simple, yet complex question - Why can't we all just get along...(I guess we will never know the true answer to this, for it will never happen)?

@SlickVic78,

I believe that I can answer this question, but it delves into the Christian religion. Christians believe that there is a spiritual war being fought on earth between God and satan and their angels (yes, satan has a vast angel army known as demons). This war contantly spills over into the physical realm whenever the followers of Christ clash (spiritually and physically) with the followers of satan. That is why Bush has referred to the terrorists as evil doers since they are clearly aligned with satan's side. The fact of the matter is that the two sides of this struggle will NEVER get along until one or the other is victorious. However, I can confidently state that God will win this war (in fact it already has been won since the moment of Christ's resurrection) although there are many individual battles left to fight. Satan and his followers will eventually be completely defeated and thrown into the "lake of fire" in the end times (dust off a Bible and read Revelations for the details ;-)

man. i just watched that video now for the first time. and i am shocked. its horrible. but its like Tomboy says, Religion is the main reason for war. God has had victory in the past, and will surely haev victory now and forever more. Thos B******S who murdered that guy will surely rot in hell.

My thoughts go out to the family of these victoms. My God be with you all.

I saw the video for the first and last time and like many folks I am disgusted about what people wil do to each other in the name of god. I found it interesting also that the murder took place before the photos of the prisoners were released. I had pictures in my head all night and still today of this video. I agree with slickvick on this. I think this is way too graphic to post in public on b1. Id like to see it gone,not out of censorship but maybe out of respect to the mans family. Mind you this is only my opinion.
