Don't watch the videos - it denies the person the dignity of death. What would the terrorists want you to do? Of course, watch the video.

As someone mentioned yesterday - they attempt to demean the person they are killing. Allow that poor person to leave this life without giving the terrorists the thrill of us watching as they make his exit as horrible as they can.

These are animals - no amount of reason will ever reach them if the horror they do does not absolutely sicken them all.

Sorry, no dice. I have watched every beheading video, each time getting more and more angry. Will you watch when they do this to a woman? What about a child? It WILL happen. And not watching the videos will not make it go away.

This isn't about reasoning because we already know that pure evil does not understand reason.

I haven't watched the latest one, since I think 2 is more then enough for me. It doesn't matter to me what terrorists want me to do. My guess it is to get scared and hide/run. But effect is very different, after watching it I just feel emptiness and rage deep inside.

We all want to believe in our civilization and humanity. But this appeals to something much deeper in us. Animal rage. I think people need to feel and confront it. We should stopped being shocked by this. This is the reality of the war we are involved in. There is no dignity or morality to be found anywhere here, we should just kill them or they will kill us.

In Vietnam America was shocked by images of civilian casualties. After watching this I don't care they doze kids of the people who did it with gasoline and light them up.

Remember the famous photo of the South Vietnamese general executing some VC prisoner with a shot to the head? If at the time the video was available of what was done to his friend's family, I dont think anyone would blame him for doing it.
