Jorj,

re: are the people like you who want to appease them

"Appease" is an interesting word. All sorts of negative connotations. Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to anything I said. In fact I want to go after al Qaeda with all the resources we are using in Iraq.

Another interesting phrase is "manipulated by". As is "manipulated by the terrorists to make them stronger".

re: Your minimization of the Nick Berg beheading

Are you this outraged by every mutilation that happens in Iraq, or only the ones you see on film? Why do you think they filmed the beheading, Jorj? Did they have you in mind as they went through that ritual? Did they rehearse so they could get it just right, do a run through to check the lighting? Guess what, every soldier that has died; their bodies have been mutilated. Just because you don't see it, it doesn't mean it's not as or more gruesome. Same with the civilians.

re: It is YOU who is playing directly into their hand.

Really? How is that?
