WHAT'S UP WITH THESE BEHEADINGS?

There's a demographic here that I think most folks are either missing or ignoring. When an american is abducted and put under the knife (so to speak) you hear about the abduction and then the beheading, broadcast on the internet (god bless the internet in all it's glory...not). There's nothing in between abduction and beheading as far as I can see. But when some other nationality is abducted, there is an outpouring of press featuring family,organizations and governments begging for mercy, pleading with the abductors to spare the lives, muslim organizations pleading for application of the true spirit of the faith.But more times than not, when american hostages are involved,we skip the histrionics and move straight to the choppy-chop-off with your head infidel finale followed by a post mortem outpouring of sympathy on all the major networks with interviews that amount to "he was more like my (insert relation here) before they sawed off his head with a knife...Bush will save us".But no public media sponsored family grovelling that has worked for other families connected to coalition connected abductees in some cases.
Is it simply the fact that we, the USofA are exempt from any shred of mercy? Do those heartless fucks see other nationalities in a different light, seperate from the perpetrators of this invasion?Are they willing to play the mindfuck game with Turkey? Jordan? The UK? Is it a "lets make you think were gonna do it, and then release 'em after you've grovelled publically" but if your american, kiss your head goodbye?
I think this is the case. Americans are abducted and beheaded, to make the point.Other members of the coalition are abducted and frequently released to ratchet up the dissention. Sometimes they are killed just to shake up the balance, to generate a sense of chaos.
The longer this war goes on the more I'm convinced that it's being orchestrated by the same kind of teams that develope commercials to sway you to buy this kind of toothpaste.
War as reality TV...the ultimate "Survivor" and it leaves me wondering about what happened to the concept of a fair fight?
We could have kicked their asses months ago, and yet we are avoiding areas of Iraq that are controlled by sunnis and shites...why are we doing this? This war on terror is making less and less sense as time passes(like it made any sense after the iraq invasion) and you really have to wonder what the fuck is going on. Just don't say it outloud. That would be unpatriotic.
That swelling in my chest is certainly not a swelling of pride.
My deepest sympathies to all who have lost a loved one, be it a result of combat, "non combat related accident" or propaganda driven beheading.
