    Anyone seen the video with the live decapitation of that American by the leader or Hamas? I think it's too inhumane, but the Arabs have at last understood that's the only way to persuade the Americans they're only sending their children to death. I mean, everyone thought, "good, we'll kill a bunch of Saddam's officers, and that's all", but now they're like "wtf, i'm not sending my son to that hell". And as Arabs say, "blodd for blood", especially after those pics of the tortured Iraquis.

    I accidently saw the decapitation video. I was at school yesterday and some of the people in the library found a site that had the video on there and started watching it. I walked by and I saw the beheading. I felt sick to my stomach when I saw it. I am lost for words and yes, it's definitely inhumane.

    Yes i have seen it, And no it doesnt bother me, But thats not me saying that i thought it was right, It was Inhumanely wrong, But really no-one could have stopped it.

    My condolences go out to Nick Berg's family and friends as they are the ones who are truly suffering.

    Same here. I don't think anyone deserves to die so brutally. What's worse is that the video is being circulated around the Internet. People could at least have the decency to take it down. It's too horrible to watch.

    I hope that the people that saw it know now that the Iraqis DON"T want Americans in their country

    And as for Berg. Its been rumored that he's an American spy. I'm not saying that the beheading was right, but this is war and people are expected to die.

    I feel sorry for his family, but the US government shouldn't try to exempt themselves from the responsibility of his death.

    I'd rather not watch it, thank you. I don't get excited watching blood splatter all over the place, and seeing someone's head fall clean off their neck.

    I dont know how anyone can see that and feel normal afterwards.

    I`ve seen the video, i heard bout it on the news many days ago and was like oh my god no way, thats ######' outragous man, then in english on thursday we were talking about it, and our teacher said that it wasnt just a simple cut of the head like, they hacked at it, so i wa slike omfg thats just sick, she said her friend, who is about 30, so a grown man, who loves horror films and has a pretty strong stomach had seen it, and he was stunned and lost sleep over it, it was that horrific, and told us not to look for it.
    So thursday afternoon i got home from school, and one of my online mates gave me the link to see it, i was like nah man, but i knew the link, the curiosity bugged me for hours, till i thought, ok its just going to continuously bug me, so i gave into curiosity and watched it, and oh my god, i felt seriously sick for hours afterwards, it was completely unjustified, inhumane, to be honest there is few words to truly describe it, utterly sick, im not going to say what happens because obviously some people wont want to know, i cant say i regret watching it, however much i hate it and how it made me feel, the curiosity was there.

    My advice would be not to watch it, but do as you please.

    There's a difference between trying to prove a point and stepping over the line, and I feel the Iraqis have totally overstepped the line. Any time Iraqis were killed, it was usually swift and quick gunshot, not a slow and painful knife to the back of someones head. I haven't seen the video, and I won't watch it, but I did stumble across a picture of an Iraqi holding up the head of Nick Berg and it was absolutely disgusting and deplorable. I am absolutely sickened by these actions.

    that video is no more inhumane than the way we treated the Iraqi prisoners in my mind.

    the Iraqis are right in that video. Blood for blood.

    What the hell is wrong with you, man? How in god's name does our 'mis-treatment' of the Iraqi's justify them to cut a person's head clear off of his neck? We didn't kill anyone in our torture and we sure as hell didn't behead a man who didn't deserve it, your comment disgusted me beyond all means and I dare you to go to that man's father and say its humane in his face.

    If our nation didn't thrive on free speech, I'd warn you for that outrageously disrespectful comment. I don't care if we whipped an Iraqi on his ass, plain and simple we didn't f*cking cut anyone's head off and your comment was completely unneccesary.

    There's a time when these Serious Chat threads overstep their lines and I believe this thread is doing that right now. Have some respect man, I admit what we did to the Iraqi's was wrong but there's no reason to say a beheading was f*cking right.

    I'm five seconds from closing this thread...watch what you say people, free speech or not, some things are just better left unsaid.

    no no, i didn't mean it was right.

    it's justified. i mean, atleast they just didn't start killing without a reason again. what i'm saying is that Bush needs to realize what is really going on over there, and the real consquences that will come out of it.

    in no way is murder, or torture for that matter, right.

    Part of your post was incorrect, iraqi prisoners were found murdered, iraqi prisoners were found gagged and drowned, iraqi prisoners were found gagged and chucked off backs of lorrys in the dessert.
    Although some of the things iv heard...i have only heard and not seen in print.

    What ever anyone says nothing will justify cutting the head of an innocent civilian whilst alive, absolutely nothing.

    well it's been said that some of the prisoners that we take in are proven not guilty, but they still stay in those conditions and take the alleged abuse.

    again, i wasn't saying the execution was right. sorry if it seemed that way.
