How many more Americans will be beheaded in faraway lands by thugs who hate our government? How many more of our fellow citizens will be kidnaped and have their heads brutally cut off until the American people rise up and change the way their government bahaves toward the people of the world?
I think the criminals who did this are murderers who deserve to be imprisoned, but they didn't just conjure up this idea out of the blue. They came to believe that the suffering their corrupt and brutal government has foisted upon them has been aided and abetted by the US government, which has been more interested in oil than in working with the people of that nation and dispelling the rantings of the psycho Mullahs and Imams who egg them on.
So they kidnaped and beheaded a man who performs maintenance on the armed helicopters which the Saudi government uses to keep its rank and file population repressed. They picked a symbol - as they always do - and they brutally murdered him.
Sadly, he won't be the last.
George W. Bush simply shrugs his narrow shoulders and says "we won't deal with terrorists." He doesn't seem capable of understanding that that more than 50 years of misguided American foreign policy is more responsible than anything else for creating the terrorists to begin with.
We are becoming the new Israel. Soon, they will be beheading us on our own soil. And the Republicans will tell us that a military response is the only response. Except that it has never, ever worked.
