We're not barbarians, and it's not a free for all. We don't behead captives, and we don't shoot unarmed, injured combatants. Why? Because we're better than that, and hold ourselves up to a higher standard, period. What the other side does is not our barometer of acceptable response.

Agree with the rest of your post!
The fact is, it is a very small element who do stuff like beheading, and they deserve to be tried and executed themselves.
The rest of the "fighters", whether on the Iraqi side or the US forces, conduct themselves as best they can.
Both sides claim to be fighting for a cause, - some have more just causes than others, - but there never was an "excuse" for war crimes on either side.
