[lbo-talk] AP: Video Seems to Show Beheading of American

[T Fast]

What the Fk is going on here.  Doug lamenting that war has not brought out
the best in his civilisation or do you (Doug) think that you can cleanly
separate the events going on Iraq from "America the high point of
civilisation" nonsense.  This is not aberration of an otherwise most
civilised nation but the very logic that gives civilisation to some at home
while grinding others into so much bone ash (tri-cal phosphate for you
chemists who like powdered creamer in your coffee)  both at home and abroad.

The head cutting...you see we the most civilised might rape, torture,
pillage and plunder but you wont see us cutting off anyone's head in the
name of civilisation and bourgeois progress.  Just the last stage on the
road to true salvation?  Bah!

And a parting question after a cheap shot:  Could this administration have
gone to war without the support of its civilised citizenry?  Civilised
people...civilised for what?
