My heart goes out to Alawi, regardless of whether or not he's a 'puppet'. I would feel the same about it if it was Bush or Rove's family as well. There is a difference between political/ideological differences and the reality of having your wife and daughters beheaded.
I can understand having a moment of being misguided on this - maybe. But look at it this way: what did the wife and daughter do to deserve being terrorized and murdered? If it was Alawi himself in their hands, you might have a theoretical arguement - but not really. These actions are simply reprehensible.
It's his family. The terrorists deserve nothing but contempt for this.

I am not in disagreement with you - I hate war, and definitely feel that terrorists are reprehensible - the point I am making is that those who make the decisions dont give a rats ass if it was an innocent civilian - they are the ones who send thousands to their deaths - they not only have to take responsibility for their decisions but if they are going to play war - then they must expect that their noses are going to get bloody, until now - Bush and other politicians like him see this as a card game with as much disregard to life as the terrorists do.
