I have no words. :(

People who do these types of things don't REALLY want to change the world they live in or fight a perceived injustice; they merely seek the attention and praise given to those who legitimately do so. :(

Oh I don't know. They probably have a genuine desire to see society run the way they want it to be run. The practical workability, and indeed the agreeability of such social designs is the contentious issue for me. Legitimacy is in the eye of the conqueror.

I am personally sickened by such executions, but then, I'm sickened by any scenario in which a person is killed without a 'fair' opportunity of fighting back. I'd prefer a duel system to executions, but that's just me. Regardless of how any of us feel about this, at least Mr Armstrong's ordeal is over.

<font color=cccccc>Did Hiero fall off his horse today? Or, did somebody high jack your username, for this is surely NOT you!

Beheading the tied and blindfolded. Killing of the innocent. If we could just find these rat bastards, text has been removed.

Ah, but who said, terrorism is fair, and just?</font>

According to Islamist website, the second American hostage, Jack Hensley, have been executed as well. CNN.com

A few days ago, three Kurdish politicians were executed as well.

This is just sad. The trouble is that the terrorrists won't even achieve anything with their totally unnecessary violence as no government has given in to terrorism for a long time now, IIRC.
