I am horrified at this murder. This young man was trying to help the good citizens of Iraq! Many people who knew him (neighbors, former teachers) are coming forward on the Today show, for one example. I respect that some of you had to view the video but I made a choice not to. I just don't think I would able to get the image of the Iraqi's walking around with this innocent young man's head afterwards, out of my mind. Just knowing they first did this unspeakable act and then bragged about it, is enough for me to know. I am praying for his family right now. And I don't know what the answer is. I will let you all decide. But in Sunnyday's defense, I knew what she was trying to say - it is such a mess over there. And very, very sad.

My heart is broken.

Mary

The one wrong was abuse the second wrong was slaughter,torture and murder of an American contractor. IMO, the second wrong outweighs the first wrong. They got an apology, do you think we will get one? NO!! So we need to fight fire with fire.

Let's hear your outrage directed toward the masked cowards.

Yeah, Hang them, shoot them, do the same thing to them they did with our innocent Americans. :( :x

It's their own fault that they have to play those war games on us.

If some of you had watched the tape you would understand my feelings on this. I have NEVER EVER seen anything like that before. COWS get better treatment in the slaughter house.

Get this paragraph...

"U.S. officials say Nick Berg was warned to leave Iraq before he was kidnapped and slain by militants. Now, the coalition worries that other civilian workers will flee the country in the wake of Berg's death."

HELLO!!! Of course civilian workers are scared... and what does it matter that Nick was warned to leave. It doesn't make what happened any easier to take. That was an unnecessary thing to say.

Thats right Garrett! It only makes sense that the civilians working there would high tail it out of there.

I really am so heart broken over this, its truly one of the sickest things Ive heard. I just couldnt watch the tape, my husband did and he was in tears when he told me about it.

I watched the video. :grr: Time to pull off the kid gloves. I think it's time to show them who we really are. This sleeping giant has just turned over in his sleep so far. Time to really wake him up. :grr:

I'm an idiot. My curiousity destroyed me. I managed to find the full video, and watched most of it... but I couldn't look anymore once it got a few seconds into... yea... (very stomach turning)

Curse the internet! Stupid thing, I'm scarred for life now after seeing that.

May I should join the air force and bomb the living daylight out of those.. *choosing words carefully* idiots :)
