lowimpact - I honestly dont think most people are decontextualising it. What ive read on here, i think most of us are intelligent people and understand what it's about. But i think it's more of a tragedy the way it's being politicised. There's the right who want us to see how barbaric the "enemy" is and show us how important the US mission is. And i suppose there are many who say that the United States went to war for people like him - so American businessmen can make money out of Iraqs tragedy - so this barbaric tragedy was necessary to warn people off.
Sometimes i think it is better to decontextualise things. Im in "Gandhi" mode at the moment. We all know people are dying out there. We know that foreign businessmen are targets and are being kidnapped and slaughtered. We're aware of what a mess it is. They cud have shot the guy. One bullet to the head. Quick and painless. But i'll never get my hand around what they did to him. No matter how badly America's fucked up that region.
It's so depressing the things people are willing to do for ideals :'(
