Moore's Minutemen strike again
Another American civilian has been taken hostage in Iraq. A US hostage in Iraq has appeared on a video tape urging his government to "open a dialogue with the Iraqi resistance" to save his life.I hope and pray that this guy isn't executed, but I will say this: if he is beheaded and another beheading video is released, it won't help the captors' "cause" at all. Rather, it will only remind us of why we're there, and what the stakes are. (An old, old issue for this blog, and despite the attention and notoriety it brought here, I didn't shy away from it then, nor [as I explained] would I in the future.) Dr. Rusty Shackleford and James Joyner have much more. Observes the former: The demand is standard for these types of videos. However, what is new is the demand for dialogue between the U.S. and insurgents.Let's hope this is not a repeat of what's happened before. posted by Eric on 04.14.05 at 09:05 AM |
