Let's see - this time they behead an American because other Arabs (Saudi Arabia) won't let let their terrorist buddies go. Do they have *any* idea who they're screwing with and what's going to happen when American patience snaps? Does anyone still doubt the notion that we are really engaged in a war on terror? Does anybody want Al-Qaeda and Hamas and the rest of the terrorist schmucks to win?
Bush & Co. (with some justfication) have been repeatedly accused of "not understanding" the Arab mind and therefore making the war in Iraq more difficult than it need be. I think it's now becoming quite clear that Al-Qaeda and their ilk think Americans are either just like the France, Germany & Spain (unfortunately) and can be scared off or or that we're like the Russians and can't effectively fight them. We may not understand everything about them that we should but they clearly don't understand us. The press used to label guys like me as 'angry white males'. They haven't seen anything yet..
