This was not unexpected.....

By now, we have all heard that the terror group holding American Paul Johnson has beheaded him. This has been roundly condemned by people all over the world (except in muslim countries). This also shows those who believe that negociating with terrorists is the only way to preserve the peace what they can really expect. Remember, you cannot "negociate" with rabid dogs, you can only destroy them before they destroy you.

When Paul Johnson was taken hostage, I knew that he would never been seen alive again. For the terrorists to release him would be seen as not being "manly", ergo, according to them, he had to die. During World War II, Jewish soldiers knew exactly what would happen to them if they were taken prisonner by the Nazis. This gave them a bit more motivation that most to avoid being taken captive. In the same way, now that the terrorists have shown the world what they are capable of, we Americans know what awaits us if we fall into the hands of terrorists. Those who believe that "negociating" with terrorists is the only way to preserve peace are living in a fantasy land. You cannot "negociate" with rabid dogs, you can only destroy them before they destroy you. Until the rest of the world starts seeing terrorists for what they really are, rabid dogs, scenes like this will continue to be common place in the world.
