I mean, if we are in the Middle East to combat terrorism - we shouldn't be going about creating more of it.

Yes they are from Iraq.

Yes they think it is AQ.

If we didnt go into Iraq, no, these heads would not be chopped off.  However, if we HAD gone into Afghanistan in 2000, 9/11 wouldnt have happened.

Why is this so difficult to understand for some people?  Youve got your head in the sand - its too dark down there for my tastes - cant see anything.  Get up and look around some.

Our collective American head has been in the sand for far too long and we got ****ed in the bellybutton while hiding.  Not going to go back back to that anytime soon I hope.

Right. Just let Saddam harbor more terrorists while continuing to flip the rest of the world the finger. That way we have no base of operation in the middle east, and we'll be totally blind-sided when that next attack on US soil comes.  And Terrorists would have understood that you can take on America and never have anything happen to you.  Meanwhile, continue to build those palaces with the money that is suppose to go for food and aid to the people...Good plan!

Ah, so anyone who does not follow the sick train of thought that you need to see death to remember - they have forgotten?

Man, what a ****in' joke you types are.

No they didn't; it was a completly different bunch that did the WTC.

You're merely trying to cover your voyuerism with moral outrage.

Do  you need to actually watch kiddie porno to want it stopped?

Your attempt to sound bright here is backfiring.

No, they know its not Al Qaeda.

What attack was Iraq going to do? Even if we had gone into Afghanistan in 2000, 9/11 would have happened. They were here for atleast 5 years, they didn't rely on anyone in Afghanistan to carry out the attack.

Of course, since I realise the real threat was not Iraq but several other countries - my head is in the sand. Believe whatever you want, Iraq had as much to do with terrorism as water has to do with fire.

Iraq harbored terrorists? Yeah, wasn't it a small camp of refugee terrorists? What about the biggest countries of them all? Syria? Saudi Arabia? Iraq was a mouse, these other countries are lions. "Base of operations"... thats funny, because that method was used by empire builders.

Isn't Isreal in the middle east?

If you want a "base of operation" (what is that exactly?); wouldn't starting out from friendly terratory be a better bet?

I'm not saying you're wrong; just that I don't follow your logic.

A liberal? Yeah, thats the ticket. What a waste of time you are.

A message was delivered. And, they may be next.

Following that train of thought, Italy should have been defeated first - then shake our fists at Germany.

Holy Crap. Well do anything long enough and anything is possible I guess.

Have a seat guys.

I agree with Dowding, and AKSWulfe here.

I disagree with Saur.

Saur said:IMO, they need to be seen.

They serve as a reminder of what we are up against and why we are fighting in the first place.

I think it's pretty obvious why the terroists video tape these things. What will they do when the blood thirsty world of voyeurs grows bored of they atrocities?

Think about this. What would happen if the world simply ignored their videos and demands. Thousands of people were slaughtered today, some in heinous ways, all over the world. Why does one person garner world attention and put a spotlight on the demands of a group of common thugs? I think those who watch and seek these videos need to look inside themselved for the answer.

I Dowding and Wulfe for their views on this particular topic. Though I would love nothing more than to exact terrible revenge, we cannot do this until the criminals are caught.

[Habu]

I have not looked at one nor will I.

I can imagine how horrible they are. I don't need that image in my brain for the rest of my life.

It is what the terrorists want. For us to see them. I refuse to participate.

No intelligent person could believe these people have no ties to Al Qaeda.

Are'nt these groups AL-Zarquari's people?

Isn't he a major figure in AQ?
