I thought he was talking about beheading as a sentence. If you talk about beheading of invading forces soldiers, considering they haven't signed Geneva and wouldn't be protected by it then it is a merciful way of killing an enemy. If you talk about the beheading of civilians who work for the invading forces, well, the Iraqis have no uniform and so no reason to appreciate any difference between both kinds of enemy (civilian or military). As for killing other people, yes, I find it reproachable. But just as reproachable as what you would call 'collateral damage' (and I mean BOTH are reproachable). > > --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- > multipart/alternative > text/plain (text body -- kept) > text/html > --- > > [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
