How empassioned do you have to be with religious fervor, angst and hatred at another group of people to kill a member of that groups society?
What about a member who's there, not as a part of military operations, or because his government sent him there, but for business? Or to help those individuals who have been affected by the war without fighting in it?
The civilians.
Are the business men and women in Iraq as responsible as the soldiers for the fighting going on there?
Are the soldiers as responsible as the government who sent them there.
And what about those doing humanitarian service, should they be held in hatred and violence also?
How fanatical do you have to be to take a dull machete and hack someone's head off?
Ignoring thier screams as you do so.

I'm tired of the war in Iraq.
I'm displeased that the government sent men and women into a combat situation that could have been, and should have been advoided and a peaceful resolution found.
I'm distressed that instead of hitting the threat of terror head on our country has only exacerbated the situation.
I'm tired of innocent people who are in Iraq to help their families back home finacially, or want to help the Iraqi people, being kidnapped and beheaded.
I am exhausted at all the uneccesary violence.
