    We sure get riled up when we see idiots doing this... but watching others cut peoples heads off seems to go unnoticed for the most part.

    Some people put no value on American lives. Anyone who even suggests that it is an issue if one life is worth more than another has a screw lose.

    You can make a perfectly reasonable case that some lives are worth more than others without having a screw loose. For example, Osama Bin Laden has (I believe) a HUGE bounty on his head. That makes his life worth more (financially) than most.

    Or, if you wish to judge by a presumed benefit to society, an average person's life would be worth more than say, a retarded person's life.

    If you think so, that is your right.

    I think no life is worth more than another.

    If you believed it did, you would certainly point out all the killings that took place by muslims on muslims there. Or the recent suicide bombers there. Remarkably though, you are always eerily silent on those, huh?

    That would be counter productive to the muslim propaganda effort.

    No life is worth more than anyone elses, I see that 6 pricks think a US life is worth more than an Iraqi's, the poll should not have been anonymous so we can see who the pricks are, I can guess a couple of them though. ;)

    Anonymous no longer, I'm a self-admitted prick.

    It was only a half-serious response anyway. I would give you my reasons for doing so, but I really don't think you would care.

    I still contend one life can be worth more than another, and the justification for feeling so most likely varies greatly from person to person. For instance, I firmly believe my daughters life is worth more than my own. If it was necessary and possible to do so, I would gladly give my own life to make sure hers continued.

    I didn't see a single shed of evidence that it was American contractors doing the shooting. It just looks like another Muslim propaganda film, like the fabricated video of American soldiers shooting up soccer players that was proven to be false.

    The overwhelming majority of violence in Iraq has been Muslims killing Muslims. Get used to the facts. It is infinitely more likely that this is what we just saw.

    Some of you guys are so slanted against Americans that you will believe anything. Show me some evidence. There wasn't any in that film.

    I know that the majority of violence in Iraq is Muslims killing Muslims. But aren't they all terrorists? Shouldn't the self-proclaimed "liberators" have better standards than terrorists?

    I never talked about religion in this thread. I don't give a damn what religion they belonged to. I only said the American contractors a.k.a. mercenaries keep killing people at random. There is absolutely no morality here.

    Well, like I said, there isn't one shred of evidence in that video that would lead anyone to believe that American contractors are doing the shooting. You never see a face and the Elvis audio is obviously dubbed in.

    My friend, I think your have fallen for more of the widespread Al-Qaeda propaganda that is commonly found in Iraq. There are lots of bogus videos like this.

    America is one of the few countries in the world that would prosecute any American found to be randomly shooting innocent civilians like that. But Al-Qaeda probably pins a medal on the chest of any loyal terrorist who does the same thing. Life, and even the lives of fellow Muslims, is meaningless to these animals.

    Focus your outrage on the real enemy.

    The Elvis music was dubbed in because you can kind of hear them talking. I think it's middle easterns talking. Hard to tell. BECAUSE THE MUSIC WAS ADDED.

    Haha. Such bullshit.

    There are bad people [Read S.K.U.M] everywhere and their lives have lesser value ;)

    I would say scarlett johannsen is worth 1000 or more iraqi lives and george bush is worth .00001 iraqi life. :D

    A little searching finds info on the subject at hand.
    http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/1128-01.htm

    Before I hear the gasps 'you used commondreams' as a source, there are hundreds of links, first result that came up on it via Google.

    If you don't like this as a source, by all means do a Google search if you're capable.

    --BTW common dreams is only reprinting the article ;)
