1. I think this is reasonable to ask because it is the flip side of the

whole thing.

>Are you offended by the lack of outrage by Arab media and >governments over the killing and mutilation of Americans in Iraq?

Anyone with a heart should be offended by this murder. Frankly, I am not going to draw distinctions anymore about any of the deaths coming out of Iraq, Arab or Westerner.

I saw the Bergs on TV last night. No one deserves such pain on either side.

2. What I find offensive about the question is that it seems to...

deliberately want to fuel anger against Arabs for not showing the "right" amount of deference or outrage. The question is not "are you outraged about the murder", it is specific to the Arab reaction.

3. "Should the beheading of an American civilian in Iraq change the treatment

of Iraqi prisoners in U. S. custody?"

Freeper answer: NO. We should keep right on torturing them. It's just a frat prank.

:argh: these questions...
