I think part of the point that enlightenment was trying to make is that an us vs. them, good guys vs. bad guys is overly simplistic in regards to the entire situation in Iraq (not so much in regards to the Nick Berg situation, which even my bleeding heart can't justify in ANY way). The guys that killed Nick Berg think that they're the "good guys" and we're the "bad guys." Now I think that while whether or not we're "the good guys" is up for debate . . . it's pretty clear that anybody who takes a knife to an innocent man's neck is not part of the "good guys." But that doesn't stop them from thinking so.
I agree with swissmiss in regards to a LOT of the stuff that's been going on lately, but particularly in regards to this -- I don't understand how anybody could be that cruel to another human being regardless of their political views. It's just sick.
