SHOULD THE U.S. SHOW THE PEARL MURDER VIDEO ON T.V.?

I know they won't show it but I am torn.

I don't have the stomach to view it and never could

But, I think showing it over and over on 24 hr news would rub salt in our wound and right now we need salt rubbed in our wound to keep us furious and focused.

And I think liberals need to see that the enemy isn't just a bunch of misunderstood fellas who would suddenly love us if we could just talk to them.

So, I am torn. I don't have the stomach to view what I also advocate shoving down America's throat, or at least liberals' throats.

I agree. The arabs are like “stupid” nazis.

I pray that these swine find Mecca a nuclear waste pit next time they visit.

The Pearl execution should be shown... but it won't.

It'll take another 9/11 or maybe 2 to slap this republic out of its funk.

[Cinnamon Girl]

No thanks....I'll stick to my Fox News and Golden Girls when I need a few laughs.....

I don't get it.

[geege]

Meaning I have no interest in watching it if they were to put it on TV....I'm sure there's people out there that would watch it.....

[Cinnamon Girl]

I wouldn't watch it either, but do you think they should show it?

[semaj]

Show it. Death, even violent death, is a part of life. Americans need to face the fact that we have enemies who are dedicated in their pursuit of our destruction. To downplay the violent and barbaric death of Mr. Pearl is to do him, his family, and the rest of America a disservice. Americans need to be shocked from their entertainment-induced coma and come to grips with reality. It's us or them.

[geege]

No of course not.......some feel that people need to see what we're up against and that it should be aired....how morbid and discusting.

[MeekOneGOP]

Cinnamon Girl, that should read. . .
I think it should be made available for the public, but NOT aired privately PUBLICLY. . .

Sheesh! Sorry for the lack of clarity. . .

[Cinnamon Girl]

You mean it should be on video or on a website somewhere, but not nationally broadcast, right?

Exactly! Choice of viewing is the key, with parents choosing which of their kids might see it. Not for the very young, IMHO. . .

As unpleasant as it may be, it might be just what many Americans need to make them realize "what", not who we are dealing with.

Talked it over with my wife... She's not one to have an iron stomach, to deal with this sort of thing, but she and I are of the same mind, when it comes to this... It's not a question of whether or not it will enrage Americans- it will- but that Americans need to be enraged, need to see what kinds of animals these bastards are...

I said before, and I'll say it again- I don't want to watch this, but I will if it comes out, because it's my duty as an American, to know my enemy, and remember what the enemy is...

Best regards to you,
