Maybe pictures of Iraqi prisons
before we invaded would carry some effect, too.....unfortunately, Saddam Hussein never liked cameras and thinks that create transparency.
As for the beheadings and the kidnappings......they couldn't happen because it wasn't as easy for foreign aid workers, private contractors, and other folks to walk around in Iraq. I'm not so sure Saddam Hussein would've been cool with that.
A lot of these kidnappers are from Jordan, Syria, Iran, and wherever else in the middle east. They couldn't pull this shit in Iraq prior to the war because Saddam would've killed their asses, and probably their families and pets, too. So we topple a dictator, and "occupy" their land, and now these assfaces can run crazy with swords and shit. Sorry, but I see no moral equivalence between what
we're doing there, and what
they're doing there.....
