As the news breaks regarding the beheading of a young American,Mr. Berg in Iraq, Washington politicians are clamoring to get to microphones to decry how our prison guards have caused this. They refer to it as a "cycle of violence." These same inside the beltway, men and women continue to ask the timeless question: "Can't we all just get along?" The answer is: "Yes, in a perfect world", and "No, in reality."

How in the world do you reason with "people" who are such cowards that they conceal their face while they commit a heinous crime on video and then distribute it to the world. How do you reason with people who look at us as the great satan? How do you reason with people who strap explosives on the bodies of their children and send them out to kill themselves and innocent people?

There are really far too many people in Washington that think all of this would stop, if we would just be nice! Have we forgotten 9-11?
