<<Qaeda's leader in Iraq beheaded an American civilian and vowed more killings in revenge for the abuse of Iraqi prisoners, an Islamist Web site said Tuesday.>> Extremists need excuse to hate America.. now it is not anymore Saudi withdrawal or Palestinians problems it is Iraqi abuse of prisoner, where was their conscience sleeping when these Iraqis were being buried alive by Baathists, it is always true a Muslim can kill a Muslim without impunity.; now a beheading for Iraqi prisoners, what a shame that real enemy keeps changing goal posts for its hatred of America and Americans, from Imam Khomeini ‘ murg be Americka’ to fatwa of death by Osama in 1998 under Clinton, America one way or the other has been a target, now despicable acts of individuals where abuse has been committed new hatred is fanned, but we should not loose the sight of the fact that every nation has black sheep’s and act of few does not condemn a nation as a whole that is ready to say sorry collectively, the point is to not to loose the focus and not to get too much into self flagellation, these horrible acts much as we hate do not represent our desire of free Iraq and free Iraqis, our desire that those new graves should not crop up in darkness of nights, the Arab world needs to be freed form tyrants who have taken care of the entire Muslim nation with a very tight leash, the act of that soldier makes me feel bad but on the on other hand I think of the entire nation of Islam that has been leashed by these few tyrants, as far as general good is clear my conscience is happy that few despicable acts and sacrifices by innocent Iraqi prisoners will not go in vain, I have my sympathies with every prisoner who has been abused but have equally increased desire to see that such abuses which were conducted by baathists clandestinely should not ever be repeated in Arab land as well as Muslim land, for that the new US led dispensation is working fine, now the Arab tyrants will not be able to do that to any of their prisoner; the dark era of torture will definitely end, this is my silver lining to very dark clouds;; as a subject of Saddam excesses I do have the liberty to look at the silver lining, I feel a change is coming..;
