Video Claims to Show Insurgents Dragging Burning Body of U.S. Pilot

This is absolutely ridiculous. What kind of mindset do these insurgents have? No respect whatsoever. My heart goes out to the pilot's families.

Exactly! This kind of stuff angers me so much, especially when people complain only when it's convenient to make America look bad.

Yep, sure is a good thing we don't try to hold ourselves to a higher standard or anything.

Not saying we can do no wrong, just saying it would be nice to see some outrage going in both directions.

Maybe if it were the insurgency trying to take the moral high ground, you would see such outrage, but last I recall, they aren't. We are.

I assure you, there are people the world over appalled by this, but if your actions vary greatly from your words, expect outrage. If not, don't.

They are taking the moral highground aswell. Its just a different set of morals. People should be willing to say... hey.. you guys are idiots, and moral relativism is wrong.

and that's why they're the bad guys.

Question: What % of "insurgents" get a bullet to the head?

Answer: Not enough.

As I recall when that incident at Fallujah outraged a lot of more even tempered Muslims...afterall the Qur'an even says that mutilating bodies is bad...

I am sure there are some muslims that are outraged by this type of behavior, and I know it doesn't help because they are a very quiet group (moderate muslims) but its an image problem and hopefully some good can come from this in that it forces moderate muslims in Iraq and around the world to "clean house" and either seperate themselves from these groups or to fight them ...
