I agree. So long as we know that's what goes on however, and it's not all proud tribal warriors valiantly protecting their lands...
Anyone who believes the war in Afghanistan is all about saving lives has their head so buried in the sand it’s beyond comprehension.
Well it certainly is easier to bury your head in the sand, when it's CUT OFF.
I love how people can look beyond the atrocities and still find blame elsewhere. These beheadings were not against combatants. They were against their own people.
Argh... why bother..

I agree with the "why bother" part....more and more lately on ATS its a why bother proposition cause no one listens much except to the sound of their own ranting....the part I don't understand in your answer is where you agree that beheading is okay since its part of "their belief system" so we should leave them to it?? did I get that right or am I misunderstanding you?...If I am misunderstanding you I apologize in advance - sometimes its hard to interpret internet responses correctly..
Cause its not okay under any circumstances - if that's me imposing my morality on someone else - too damn bad -I vote to impose - there's a right and wrong in this world and this kind of violence is wrong whether its ''uncle bob" who did it during the war or some a-hole taliban half way across the world - its wrong...

People want to do that here, who aren't Muslim. Most of them want it sanitized though. It is still the same thing in the end.

I agree that beheading is brutal
but does that mean a body exploding
by a 'smart' bomb to million pieces
is gentle or civilized?
this thread is ridiculous attempt to
manipulate with facts showing only
one side of the story, and believe me,
your 'brave' soldiers are doing the same
or even worse things to innocent people
than beheading...
no star and no flag from me
