Barbaric
Wm. Terry Leichner, RN
The headline on the front page of the Rocky Mountain News screamed out in the largest font – "Barbaric". I thought to myself, which act of barbaric are they talking about? But I knew they meant the beheading of two young American soldiers captured when they ended up alone in one vehicle during an ambush. Of course it’s barbaric. War is barbaric. Is the beheading of two American soldiers any more barbaric than five hundred pound bombs and cruise missiles being fired into civilian neighborhoods where children used to play? I have to ask myself how many children died in "shock and awe" before "mission accomplished"? We’ll never really know...
