Have you read this!!!

DUBAI (Reuters) - A video tape of a Qaeda-linked group in Iraq beheading a man said to be an American was shown on an Islamist Web site Tuesday and the group vowed more executions as revenge for the abuse of Iraqi prisoners.
The poor quality tape showed a man sitting on the floor with five masked men behind him. After one of the masked men read out a statement, they pushed the bound man to the floor, cutting off his head and holding it aloft.

It was not immediately possible to verify the authenticity of the tape carried on Muntada al-Ansar Islamist Web site.

(Not to mention how much damage this war has done to the reputation of the United States, not only in the Middle East or even Europe.) "

Never confuse what diplomats say in public for what they are thinking in private. That goes double in the Middle East.
