I'm really not sure that I agree with kidnapping and killing civilians. I was in the Army, and I served in combat, and I personally see a difference between killing combatants and deliberately targeting civilian non-combatants. Personally I find the terrorists to be cowardly brutal animals with no honor.
But, hey. Thats just my opnion.

Im not in agreement with any war - just that I felt that the terrorists were now targetting those that make the decisions rather than innocent civilians that polticians dont give a shit about either way. We are statistics - acceptable losses in a war - but when it comes to politician family members, statistics are thrown out the window and the demands are looked at more closely. If a victims family had to sacrifice for a war they didnt want, then surely the same can be said for the people who made the decision to go to war - that they put their own interests at stake, they dont become immune from war either.
