Can you explain this?

Why is there day to day coverage on the abuse of Iraqi prisoners, but very little of the senseless, horrific, despicable (stop men when I've gone to far) beheading of Nicholas Berg? When will this stop?

After seeing two video files last night of Mr. Berg being beheaded by terrorist kidnappers I'm hardly surprised that President Bush has removed the kid gloves (I won't hold my breath about this though)!

The fight in Iraq is dirty. Terrorism does not make for a tidy, unsoiled war (kind of an oxymoron isn't it?). Lets face it. Whenever a country is occupied, there will always be factions that will fight for the power themselves, and that doesn't necessarily coincide with what is best for the country.

Leaving Iraq in the hands of these fanatics would be a disaster for everybody. It is probable that the Middle East would eventually be under their leadership (think oil). Do we really want to have a super-power with such a hatred of American's?

It's time for Bush to stand up and take action. He needs to stop choosing his targets so carefully. It's time to jump in and take control of this situation completely. How many more innocent people will die before this all stops?
