And remember, this is ISIS we're supposedly talking about.

Do you really think that they would cut out the part of the video that shows the 'beheading' because they don't want to expose us to anything too gruesome?

I think the most important fact is that we are obsessing over one dead American reporter when hundreds of civilians are dying every month.

And why do you think that might be?

Perhaps it's just an effort to gain support for Team America taking charge again.

Largely because most of the general public view an American, Kiwi, Brit life above an Iraqi life. That's where the support comes from. And the media are really pissed because reporters are supposedly sacred.

You almost sound like you believe it.

Tell me, why should an American, Kiwi or Brit life be above an Iraqi life?

Car bombings and shootings are in the news as well, doesn't sell as well as "one of our own" having his head lopped off. Same with a lot of news reporting- a coach crash in China that kills 20 Chinese wouldn't get a news bite. A coach crash in China that killed 20 Kiwis would be in the news for days.

US urges Israel to reverse Palestinian land-grab plan... like this war was anything other. Bunch of children!

And let's not forget that America - the Great Bringer of Democracy to the World - betrayed the Iraqi people at the end of the first Gulf War in exactly the same way that Stalin betrayed the people of Warsaw toward the end of World War II.

The CIA instigated an Iraqi uprising against Saddam Hussien and then sat back on the Iraq border and allowed Saddam to brutally slaughter anyone thought to be part of that uprising.
