There is such a thing, in this real and red-clawed mean old world, as being too civilized for your own good.
If it were up to me, I'd have the Mall of Washington DC become a field of pikes, upon which the heads of our Islamicist enemies would be mounted, one by one, as they became available.
Barbs cannot speak politesse.
Those who are civilized would do well to add "barb" to their more polished lists af linguistic skills.
I'll betcha Bush does not condone beheadings, even of our enemies.
We have better, more civilized ways of eliminating those guilty of capital crimes. Hell, even a firing squad would be better.
Hey now, I live downwind of that, and its summertime here. Last thing I need is reeky noggin stink gently wafting through my whole life. Load 'em up into a dump truck and drop 'em off in the town square in Fallujia, or let the Afghanis play Buzkashi with them or make a headalanche down a mountainside or use 'em for batting practice or raffle 'em off to the German weirdos that keep popping up in the news or give them to New Guinea tribesmen as foreign aid.
I understand and generally agree with the Christian sentiments that were expressed by another poster earlier. The hard, cold fact however, is that it was proven by the Soviets in the 70s that this crap stops when it's the terrorslime's turn. They love to dish it out, but they're scared merdeless of it being done to them. One Sov got grabbed and cut up in Lebanon or someplace. The GRU or somebody grabbed a few of these people and disassembled them with power tools, and boxed them up for return to where they came from. End of THAT little tactic.
These people are THICK. That's what it takes to get the message across. We'll continue to see this stuff happening until it is countered with a bonce for a bonce.
