Why Terrorists Are Still Our Worst Enemies

For all Bush and his cronies have done, no horror they have yet committed competes with this travesty:

A video apparently showing the murder of aid worker Margaret Hassan seems to be genuine, says the Foreign Office.

...

"She had no prejudice against any creed. She dedicated her whole life to working for the poor and vulnerable, helping those who had no-one else."

Margaret Hassan, for those who may not know, spent her entire adult life helping the Iraqi people, and probably saved countless thousands from starvation during the sanctions. If she is dead, as it appears, these terrorists killed a genuine hero of the Iraqi people.

It is certainly relevant that by creating the "jihadi woodstock" in Iraq, our government is partly responsible for this atrocity. Nevertheless, the overwhelming majority of the weight of guilt for her murder belongs squarely on the evil fanatics who kidnapped and executed her. While there are certainly Iraqi rebels who are genuinely fighting for their homes, there are equally certainly monsters exploiting the ongoing tragedy to shock the world with their acts of hatred.
