On the Beheading, my somewhat cold comments
My comments here will probably offend, but here it goes.

What did this clueless idiot do wrong?

First, he obviously did not speak the langauge, did not know the region. But the good old US of A was bringing democracy and all that, time to teach the natives. Wonderful fucking idealism. But this is not fucking Kansas, this is a fucking dangerous region, and it is not for amateur hour to fucking wander around a country you don't know, that you have no support in, and that you don't know people in, that you have no goddamned connexions to keep you fucking safe. Bloody hell, staying in low-end hotels, no connexions, no saftey.
