His citizenship is no more valid to me than the latest inmate addition to any death row block.

OK, then let me also make the point that I don't care what the nationality, politics or religion of someone is if they are killed by cowards they didn't deserve it. This guy may have been a retard but in no way did he deserve to be ganged up on, trussed up then chopped up like a piece of meat. He was not harming people.

I would have preferred that the American escaped and lived to tell us of his mistakes. A changed man who would have realized that he was wrong. Would that have happened if he had escaped? We will never know now will we?

So would most of us. Tell us of his mistakes? Like? Like? Names, please. Barry Bonds? Elvis Presley? Jimmy Carter? Sorry, it may be just me, but I can't think of an American in recent memory who escaped (whatever there was to escape) and "tell us of his mistakes".

You suppose an awful lot. I think he was committed to his insane agenda every bit as much as the Islamofascists that killed him are to theirs. They are both willing to get us all killed for their warped world view. That, my friend, makes them equally dangerous to our freedoms and lives.

We will never know now will we?

No, we won't. Maybe we should all have a good cry and put him in a martyr's hall of fame with Rachel Corrie.

He was not harming people.

I strongly disagree. He was harming American (and other Coalition) soldiers because he was there to actively undermine our cause. I don't think he deserved to die, but I'm not shedding any tears for him. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind...

He was not harming people.

He certainly was! By sympathizing and speaking out on behalf of the terrorist "insurgents" in Iraq, he was harming our military service members, as well as the peaceful citizens of Iraq who want to be free of these (mostly foreign) terrorists more than we do. How many US soldiers and innocent Iraqis have died because the terrorists are continually empowered and given moral (as well as financial) support by sympathizers like Tom Fox and his ilk?

When a "citizen" (in this case, as defined by birth, not by loyalty) travels to a foreign country, particularly one where our military is actively engaged in war, and sympathizes with our enemy, giving them aid and comfort, then that person is no longer a citizen as far as I am concerned. He is a traitor. And traitors deserve to die. I find it particularly ironic -- and just -- when they die at the hands of those with whom they are sympathizing.

My regret is not that Tom Fox was killed by his fanatical, homicidal Muslim brethren, but that others like him have not met the same fate. Jane Fonda dying at the hands of the NVA/Vietcong would have been a good start.

Tough luck if that's too politically incorrect and "insensitive" for any of you.
