off with his head!

i used to laugh hysterically at the comment, "off with her head!"
imagining the guillotine, the french revolution and all that.
i thought that barbarism was over when marie antoinette had hers.

then these recent beheadings... its just wrong.
how can one man hold a sharp axe or machete and slice the head off another man?
it is just wrong
that war in iraq is wrong
bush is wrong

how do you tell the families of these victims, "i regret to inform you that your husband has been beheaded."

i just cannot imagine what goes through the mind of the executioner
the victim
his family

is the news media going to keep reporting this so that it is so commonplace that we are no longer shocked?
i am mortified
