    In the end of Daniel Pearl's video it says:

    "We assure Americans that they shall never be safe on the Muslim Land of Pakistan, and if our demands are not met, this scene shall be repeated again and again..."

    Your thoughts? Something about that comment makes me very uneasy. I realize that's it's a warning of what was to come later. (9/ll, Berg, etc.) I want to have something interesting to comment about it myself, but I just can't think of the right words to say.

    ***Straying away from subject...sorry
    Has anyone noticed the lack of GOD lately? I was listening to broadcasts on MTV the other day while cleaning my house, and they were making fun of some list with Jesus Christ listed as #1 for something. I didn't catch all of it. Then, they proceeded to talk about other things that should have envolved HIM, but they left HIM out. That just made me cry. Seems it's not "in" to talk about GOD and faith anymore. He hasn't left us, so why have so many deserted HIM?
    How do all these famous people think they got famous in the first place...oh that's right...they sold their soul.

    The LORD giveth, and HE shall taketh away... :)

    "It is our troops who have surprised us ..."

    Look at the age of some of our troops..it doesn't surprise me they taunt the Iraqi troops that way. At 18-19 many are still children.
    I understand that's no excuse.

    I recently viewed the clip myself. I was deeply saddened within my soul.
    (I know this is crude) It seemed they were using a dull knife making the detestable act take longer. It made me sick to my stomach. How could anyone think that was fake?
