Bullets cost money. Wouldn't waste the cost of one to avenge someone like Fox. May one presume his family and friends will decline the flag for his casket, and burial at a Veterans' Cemetery [I read he was a 20 yr. veteran of the USMC]?

These people are like sheep.Oh well,no matter-the Marines will make the murderers pay.
In the meantime these dumbasses need to stay out of the war zones.They expose our people to unnessasary risk.

civilians who go to war zones and terror-nests should be required to sign a binding release form, stipulating that they should be considered legally dead if ever kidnapped.

"We reject violence to punish anyone who harms us," said Doug Smith, quoting Fox, in a statement read to reporters at the group's headquarters in McLean, Virginia.

And that,among other reasons,is why the 9th Century knucledraggers that you are so ardently supporting and assisting laugh at you behind your backs.

I wonder if he still felt that way while he was being tortured.

I agree. Rather, we need to determine why they hate us and then change.

Forgive? Okay, I can do that....when there's real, from-the-heart repentance.

Otherwise....Baa, baa, baabaa, baa.....

Hi All-

Can you imagine what it would be like to live inside the distorted brain of one of these so-called peace activists even if only for a twenty-four hour period? They somehow feel there is honor in feeling the dull blade slicing through their necks in the moments of their deaths. Unbelievable.

"Go up to a peace activist. Let him explain to you about how responding to violence is wrong, and peace is the best policy. While he is explaining his belief, punch him in the face. Hard. When he gets up he will be angry and ready to fight. Calmly and rationally explain to him that responding to violence in kind is always wrong and peace is the best answer. After he settles down he will agree with you. He will feel very good about himself that he did not stoop to your level. Get him to further explain his ideas about non violence. As soon as he starts, hit him again. Harder. Repeat the process until he realizes that you cannot get peace from people who don't want to give it to you."

Wretchard over at Belmont had an interesting commentary, the concluding sentences here:

“The question Tom Fox should have posed is ‘how do you stand firm against a car-bomber headed straight for a schoolbus?’ And if you say, ‘shoot to save the children’ ask yourself if it ever [is] justified to be glad that God had sent someone else to shoot the bomber and go hell in your stead. Tom Fox stood for his beliefs to the bitter end. And now the men who killed him are out there, waiting to kill again.”

Worth the read.

As a committed Christian I have discussed this issue with others of a pacifist bent. For me the clincher is Luke 3:14. The soldier is to be content with his wages.

"We forgive those who consider us their enemies," Fox's statement continued

GREAT! Forgive them... and then KILL them before they SLAUGHTER AND TORTURE anymore!

Yeah, and (before going to Iraq) he probably looked like Willie Nelson.

Not just bullets cost money. If you are a US citizen go into this area and get yourself captured the government will spend resources looking for you! I don't care how many self-agrandizing moralizing public statements you make asking the government not to !
Imagine the intelligence and military assets used to try and find these so-called 'peace activists'. Those also costs money !....tons of money ! Also when these resources are used to look for these clowns there are less intelligence resources available to keep real peace activists, the US military safe. If they had been found with some measure of reliability of actually being there. Some 18 to 20 year old would be putting himself at risk for these idiots ! To me these people are self-absorbed, self-righteous fools who care nothing for their fellow citizens or for world peace in general as long as they can appear in public to be morally superior.
