When news of the beheading of an American in Saudi Arabia by terrorists reached the nation yesterday, reactions were a mix of outrage and disgust.
Rick Warren, a 44-year-old appliance technician in Lexington, Ky., was driving home from work when he heard about the death of Paul M. Johnson Jr. on the radio.

Nothing in their holy Islamic law that would prevent that. The Saudi princes better choose soon which way to jump. Since the Islamicists want their heads too, my guess is they will take last ditch action. Would it be over the top to say 'heads will roll'?
Anyway the liberal media and the leftwingers with their hatred against President Bush have this man's death on their shoulder.
I hope they are satisfied
You're right. I sent an e-mail to Kerry yesterday (probably never will read it, but it made me feel better) telling him that he and his liberal buddies are responsible for Paul Johnson's death.

This is why the WOT must be under the Republicans, not the dims. Social issues are irrelevant compared with the danger to the country.
The U.S. occupation of Iraq is "attracting every terrorist in the Mideast ... that whole area will be a cauldron until America gets out," said Mr. Komen. "The president must do whatever is necessary to defend the United States ... al Qaeda is more of a threat than Iraq."
It sounds like Mr. Komen has been sampling the inventory. Talk about a disconnect.
Better there than here, yes?
"Stan Komen, a liquor store owner in Peoria, Ill., said he had not heard of the beheading of Mr. Johnson until a reporter called. "But I'm not surprised."
He also said he was not surprised to learn that the suspects in the slaying are leaders of the al Qaeda terrorist network in Saudi Arabia.
As for whether the gruesome beheading of another American in the Mideast strengthens his support for the war on terrorism, Mr. Komen said, "Al Qaeda seems to be the war on terror. If we deal with them, we deal with terrorism."
At the same time, he said, the United States needs to find away to get out of Iraq "in some honorable fashion."
Stan Komen is a fool. If we pull out they will have won and this wil encourage new attacks. I hope everybody on this discussion group who lives in Peoria boycotts this guy's store.
"If we leave them alone they'll stop bothering us", this guy says in effect.
What a fool.
We are at war because Islam has declared war on us. Our free and open and multic-cultural and tolerant society is a thereat to them and everything they hold dear. They know that when the smoke clears, only ONE of us can be left standing. And the sooner people like Komen realize that, the better.
I think that would only add to their martydom. They seem to recoil in shame at being stripped naked and bound togther though.
Let me try to make it clear for you.
Saudi Arabia is the Enemy!!!
"I'm outraged"..."I'm disgusted"...BFD!! Where are our governemnts actions to send a message back to these heathens that enough is enough. How about an eye for an eye? In this case maybe make it a set of balls and bat for each scratch to an American caught up in this WOT.
We should also go in ourselves and take out these hostage takers if the governments (laugh, laugh) in that area fail to do the civilized job and take them out themselves.
One last word...GWB said yesterday that we would find them wherever they are and take them to justice. I just hope that he uses the Israeli reaction to the '72 Olympic massacre and hunt them down for as long as it takes and into whatever sanctuary they think they can hide and Israeli justice is to kill them where they are found, not to bring them to any other justice than death.
It's hard to say any better than this.
At the same time, he said, the United States needs to find away to get out of Iraq "in some honorable fashion."
The U.S. occupation of Iraq is "attracting every terrorist in the Mideast ... that whole area will be a cauldron until America gets out," said Mr. Komen. "The president must do whatever is necessary to defend the United States ... al Quida is more of a threat than Iraq."
It does help to have all of the Al Quida flocking to one place. Now, if the entire upper echelon would convene - and coordinate the meeting via cell phone and internet - in one large building somewhere in Iraq, and all the “fighters” would gather together for a rally in a large soccer stadium …
They are right when they say we need to unite, but if I had to choose a party that is fighting the war on terror, and I will have to choose in November, I see that the Republicans are fighting the war and the Democrats are fighting the Republicans. It's the Democrats that need to stop "squabbing".
Far, far better.
is-slime is the religion of peace!
is-slime is the religion of love!
I know that I worry constantly about radical Amish terrorists. (/sneering sarcasm)
Couldn't agree more!!!
