Journal leviramsey's Journal: On Abu Ghraib and Beheading 15

Journal by leviramsey on Wednesday May 12, 2004 @11:06AM

My prescription:

Find the sick Iraqi fucks who beheaded the American, plus their home villages.
Every unit that had a single person involved even peripherally in the Abu Ghraib torture incidents, military or civilian gets rounded up.
Everybody in the above groups is furnished with a machine gun and more than sufficient ammo.
Mark off an area of the desert about four miles square.
Set 'em against each other.
Last one standing is beheaded for murder.
Sell pay-per-view TV of the entire spectacle ($15 sounds reasonable)
Proceeds from the PPV go to funds to build a functional society in Iraq and help the families of fallen servicepeople.

At least then some good might come out of this whole affair.

That death is far to painless, especially for the beheading cowards.

  I was under the impression that beheading was actually relatively painless as well. Could it not have been worse if they had just tortured him for months?

    I'm not planning to watch the video, nor read any graphic description, but he was beheaded "with a large knife". That's not the same thing as the fast and efficient Guillotine.

      Guillotines were only efficient if you paid off the executioner. Otherwise that blade gets dull quickly and it sometimes took several chops to separate the head from the body.

        I'm still thinking that kills you faster than having your neck sawed with a knife. But then I'm no expert.

      I watched the video, but without any sound.
      It is about four minute long. Twenty seconds of Berg talking. Then a cut. Then there are several minutes of a guy reading from a statement. The horrific and brutal beheading takes about fifteen seconds.
      Then there is about ten seconds of the killer holding the head up.

I think there will be a suicide bombing in the USA sometime in the immediate future because of the abuse of the Iraqi prisoners.

The naked guy cowering before the dogs while being ordered to lie down is especially provocative. It contains ALL the right elements to piss off Muslims - nudity, dogs, bullying Americans and humiliation. Couldn't have staged it better.

    This is probably my favorite stupid leftist claim evar! Like they planned to send us flowers and a nice fruit basket before, but NOW they're mad.
    
    Was 9/11 a gesture of love? Oh right, that was because of some other thing we did. And the USS Cole? And the embassies in Africa? And the first bombing of the world trade center in 93? And the trains in Madrid? And Daniel Pearl's execution? And the resort bombing in Bali?

        It is usually a mistake to respond to an "anonymous coward".
        They are calling it the "Bush Doctrine"; the idea that the USA should feel free to attack other nations based on the suspicion that the other nation represented a threat.
        If you want to examine a situation when there was a sole super-power you have to go back to the height of the power of the Roman Empire. Since then a system of international diplomacy has been set up. Under that system of diplomacy there are accepted rules and conventions a

        Yes, yes the international order worked great for people in Rwanda. But at least the international order has fixed up Kosovo, right? Well, even if those are not perfect, everyone can feel secure about their human rights since the UN Human Rights Commission has included such enlightened regimes as Sudan, Libya, Cuba, and other luminaries whose first thought is the freedom of their citizens.

The guy who is the Prime Suspect in this killing is not an Iraqi. He is a Jordanian.
