I apologize for my misleading, he is not dead, i guess since all of these ugly rats look the same and ssound the same, I was confused. please forgive
my mistake.
on another note, as im sure there are many different and equal thoughts on the korean government proceeding with plans to send troops, i would like to
put out my opinion, since after all, this is an opinion forum. i am glad to see that all of the ally nations are coming together to fight this war
together. i dotn neccessarily agree with us going into in the first place, but since time cannot be rewinded, i think we might as well fix what could
have a been a much worse mess. japan and korea are behind us, although with different motives, as korea is sending troops to "repair and
reconstruct" and japan is offering support in both reconstruction and security forces. i read in the new york times that japan is sending around 10k
troops and korea is sending 3k. whether this is a guess-timate or actually correct numbers, we will find out. but either way, there is no winning this
war. terror survives as long as cruel intentions are intact. there will never be a perfect world, and there will always be those who cant find a place
in society who decide to lash out in various ways. but as long as we continue to show an intolerance for the extreme cases, it will subdue some to a
minimal damage effect.
with that said, i would also like to share what i read in the paper today(though as we all know, news programs and newspapers are a biast source for
information). according to professors and experts, the beheadings are nothing to be surprised about. yes it is horrible, and yes, for the americans it
does wrench our stomach a bit. but the fact of the matter is, until the late 19th century, the united states used beheading as an option for
execution. though rarely if ever used around that time, the fact remains that it was used here. the difference obviously being that in that time, it
was used for criminals only, and it is being used today on innocent people. the militant extremists are using this method of terror as a metaphor.
beheading a non-iraqi civilian, is to them, beheading america. whether or not these views are just or fair is null. the point is, they are TERRORISTS,
unruled militants who have rearranged their symbolic and religious beliefs to fit the tactics that they use in what could better be called as
"genocide". they are not killing attackers, or killing prisoners of war. they are killing innocent people because they know that it is the easiest
way to make a point. had nick berg, or daniel pearl, or kim sun-il been a military soldier, he would have been trained and had knowledge of what these
people were going to do to him. put yourself in there former place. myself, if i were kidnapped by these people, i personally would not have just
kneeled and made a statement, only because i have studying terror since desert storm. i would have fought and rolled until either they killed me, or
by the grace of god they decided i was of no use and tossed me into the streets with only some other method of torture (tongue searing/slicing, etc.).
as many of you will not agree, that is ok. and you may post what you feel, again this is an open speech forum, and this is my taking advantage of the
freedom most other countries dont have
