I believe in science and critical thinking, and examining as much data and evidence as possible before coming up with conclusions.

So many people I see base their opinions on their first emotional responses from an issue. Like with the beheading tape, I see people saying "Now I don't feel sorry for those Iraqui prisoners". I can understand the emotions underlying such a statement, but that is most likely the response the purpetrators of the beheading wanted. Mentioned in the title of the video is "Abu Musab al-Zarqawi shown slaughtering an American", al-Zarqawi being an associate of Osama bin Laden. So it had nothing to do with Iraqi prisoners or Iraqis in general.

sorry I'm babbling
