Tragedy

An American contractor named Nick Berg was beheaded and the video of the execution posted on an Islamic militant web site (AP).

Nick Berg's death is a tragedy. It is a tragedy that could have been avoided were it not for the pig-headed nature of our leadership. It is a tragedy that will become doubly so when the administration apologists use it as a reason to escalate the conflict in Iraq.
