BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Margaret Hassan, a British aid worker kidnapped in Baghdad a month ago, has probably been killed, her Iraqi husband and British
diplomats say, after viewing a video apparently showing her being shot.
She has been married to an Iraqi and has lived in Iraq and helped for many many years.
So technically she is more of an Iraqi than she is British, yet these so called human terrorists killed the "infedel"
This is different in the way that she is a woman and theres two things which upset people more, any harm to women and children as they are seen more
as innocent as any other human.
The point in this post is that because there has been so many beheadings and killings in the Iraqi war that we have become more and more used to this
type of thing and it does not shock or surprise us anymore?
I mean lets say there was news that "Woman hostage has been beheaded" BUT this was reported LAST year it would have caused shock and anger more than
it does now.
Im not saying i dont care but i would have been more shocked this time last year if this had happened but for some reason because of everything that
is happening in Iraq it hasnt so much surprised me as i kind of expected it eventually.
