well, your opinions are all valid, however i do disagree with some of them (respectfully though, as it seems you disagreed with mine). isolated or not, there is no comparison between the injustices of the abu whatever prison incident and the execution of hostages. while literally this man was held as a prisoner, i refuse to believe he was a prisoner of war. also, "prisoner" has a connotation of a criminal. these men were far from that. they were hostages (def. from dictionary.com: A person held by one party in a conflict as security that specified terms will be met by the opposing party.) now im not going to sit here and try to analyze whether nick berg or this new man were dead or not before their heads were cut off (i tend to believe they werent) because i really dont know the science behind it, but what i do know are that these guys were not combatants, and beheading someone (even if they are already dead) does show a complete disregard for humanity. also, as far as i know, this new man wasn't in Saudi Arabia due to war in iraq, but because of Lockheed's business there. again, i dont know all of the details behind it.
i guess what it comes down to for me is that the acts committed by these terrorists (which is what i will call them, because that's what they are...remember september 11th, us embassy bombings, uss cole bombing, 1993 WTC bombing, etc?) are inhumane and disgusting. i cannot fathom people being that blinded by hate that they would see that to be an acceptable way of achieving their goals. i regret that we didn't raid the place sooner, but i take comfort in knowing that the sick fuck who did this is now dead himself.
