Of course they're trying to shock you. You certainly tried to shock them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A show of force is like chopping someone's head off... Yeah, okay. Not quite.......its a show of 'power' one human and another. Whilst some have said that America's 'Shock and Awe' campiagn is being mirrored in a smaller but none the less impacting ' shock and saw' campaign by Iraqui militants......I dont see too many answers to some specific questins. I have seen these beheading videos.....Rhino...has said...its because you should 'know your enemy' Im not sure thats it for me....... I'm used to seeing some pretty shocking scenes.....but i cannot comprehend how one human being can physically hack off ( and thats what it is ladies and gentlemen ...its not quick) another humans head. Ok Ok I know that one bomb dropped can kill alot of people in a horrible way......but please reflect for a minute.....that pilot, thinks he is doing his job and is distanced from the actual killing ....maybe they rationalise it themselves in other ways. To hack off another bound humans head is alot more personal and alot more 'involved' in killing than the 'pilot'....and personally all I wanted to see was the murderers face to try and see, try and understand what a human must feel to do that to another... I still dont understand.....but I can see its completely and utterly wrong and cannot be justified for ANY reason...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would have thought there would be a lot of tranplants and such, go figure. Can't we all just get along???? Have you noticed which states are being punished with natural disasters (aka "Acts of God")? You mean like California? If you insist, but I wasn't considering Schwarzenegger's election to be a natural disaster.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Uh... no they're not. They are meant to take the enemy's current leadership "out". 2 of the Husseins are dead; the 3rd one is put away. Shit is still happening there... Uh . . . yes they are. Taking out the leadership is a great way to shorten a war, and therefore save lives and resources. What is happening in Iraq now is nothing compared to what would be going on if Hussein was still in power and somehow able to compete against us. . . =(_8^(1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Frenchy68 0 #104 September 27, 2004 QuoteTaking out the leadership is a great way to shorten a war That's exactly its design.
