Isn't that the same as showing a decapitated head to the camera? I mean, if we can show off our trophies, why can't they show off theirs? Maybe we should go back to putting heads on spears.

1. All the same to me.
They are all difficult to look at--no matter who killed whom.

It scares me--a lot.

3. I didn't see that but hearing/reading about it made me think of
the Roman Empire - I think they did victory parades with bodies and heads.

Also with caged or chained captives.

Especially 'good' if bodies, heads, people were leaders or sons of leaders of countries defeated.

4. So, what gives us the moral high ground?
And what happens when we have our killings on videotape? That's what's coming out next. In what way are we better than the people who decapitated Berg? And if we can punish the many for the acts of the few, how are we different than the 911 hijackers?
