You know, for whatever it's worth, the terrorists' plan is starting to work on me.
"My name is Nick Berg, my father's name is Michael, my mother's name is Susan," the man said on the video. "I have a brother and sister, David and Sarah. I live in ... Philadelphia."If they're trying to make me hate them, it's working. I doubt I'm not the only American feeling this way, and if they expect us to pull out of Iraq when we get pissed off, they're mistaken.After reading a statement, the men were seen pulling the man to his side and putting a large knife to his neck. A scream sounded as the men cut his head off, shouting "Allahu Akbar!" — "God is great." They then held the head out before the camera. ...
"For the mothers and wives of American soldiers, we tell you that we offered the U.S. administration to exchange this hostage with some of the detainees in Abu Ghraib and they refused."
"So we tell you that the dignity of the Muslim men and women in Abu Ghraib and others is not redeemed except by blood and souls. You will not receive anything from us but coffins after coffins ... slaughtered in this way."
Do they really want coffin after coffin of dead? How about if we just turn them all directly into greasy vapor? We can do it. And we will, if we have to.
I wish our government would focus more on making them afraid of us, rather than on trying to make us all buddies.

ABSO-FREAKIN'-LUTELY!!!! Iused to be worried about the innocents who would be wiped out in such an attack but after today I really need to pray for forgiveness because I say wipe out every trace of life in Iraq so we are sure none of the guilty get away. And then do the same in Afghanistan and anywhere else Americans are being targeted simply b/c they're American.
And we will, if we have to......
I certainly hope so, but for all the resolve GWB has shown since 911, I'm torqued that a rapid, decisive response hasn't materialized.
Although I don't like the feelings of abject rage that make me wish we would make the mid-east into an ashtray (M. Totten's term), I don't feel the need to seek forgiveness for defending to the death those that have given their lives for me and my family.
