If beheading is the only thing that makes the distinction between terrorist and insurgent or whatever name one chooses to call what ultimately results in KILLING, then all of us are terrorists..

Having just watched DREAMLAND a documentary on the soldiers in Iraq and what they go through daily it is illuminating to see how easily a nice young man who says he thinks he will have a hard time killing becomes a killer. If ones buddy or friend is grotesquely killed by a bomb the next Iraq that survivor sees is dead. We forget that emotions are not controlled by sane acts at times and that irrational behavior is often the result.

I an understand this. I think a play upon semantics is just that.. Terrorist,Insurgent..... what's in a name ?

What does it matter anyway. Killing is killing..
