The reason we are in this whole mess in the FIRST place, is the Mid east thinks we don't " get them" and their views.

You are very illinformed or plain stupid.

I am by no means am stupid........and I am highly informed. One only needs to read history, To note this is why most wars start. the old " you have what I want " or We are bigger and better than you, and through blood, we will convince you we are right" Apply here also. I don't like ANY of this, I am scared to death for our future generations. But, they think they are right, thats a a VERY tough cause to fight. I also note, that as a democratic society, we are much more appalled then the muslim/arab society is. WE find beheading barbaric, and it IS....But to them, this is how you fight a war. They have beheaded people for centuries. The USA, being a good socity, finds this behavior abhorent...THEY find it common place, Hence, No major " shock factor" from the Arab world.
My initial thread was I would not want to lose Al Jazeera, as it gives us some insight as to what they are thinking.
I do not condone nor like them... I am saying that some information is better than no information at all.
