They'll never learn and your right superpower07! they are psychos.

My dad says never tick off the South Koreans. They may be small but they are fighters. I'm sure there will be reprisals from them in due time.

I feel physically ill upon reading that..

I read something in the NYTimes that I was nearly in tears because of after it... it was what the s. korean was saying as he begged for his life on tape. He said "please, my life is important too... I don't want to die."

Utterly heartbreaking. It is a sad day...

No... that's not it... please think before you talk.

It's complicated why they are beheading people, and I only slightly understand it... but I do know that you are way off target.
I don't want to get into it much, but basically, those people represent larger groups that are threatening to the ideals of the extreme Muslims committing these acts...

I tend to think that the beheading of the SK was more intended to be revenge or intimidation on America. Why would the SK beg for his life in English? He wasn't really even that great at English. I mean, shouldn't he have done it in Korean so that Al Jazeera could send the tape to South Korea? The whole thing seems a little odd...

True, but we don't know all the details. Whereas the killers' tactics may have been what you said, he might have been instructed to say it in English.
Regardless, that man was murdered. Also, more of the world speaks English, as it's taught more frequently as a second language. Korean isn't as widely known.
All of this is hardcore intimidation scheming... but that poor guy... jeez.. that is so sad

There are a ton of factors being thrown into this situation. Take their personal beliefs into account, peer pressure maybe, family situation and emotional stance... then tack on the goings-on in the world...
What I don't understand is how you think it's so simple... nothing is that simple. Especially this.

*sigh* I think the equation works both ways.

Muslim radicals murder Americans and co.
Then Americans and co. murder Muslim radicals

You can say it's only fair.

Fair... no. I don't think so. I wish people would stop killing eachother... but hey... it's unrealistic and I'm a dreamer (but I'm not the only one...)

They picked the wrong people to "intimidate"

You don't screw with the RoKs.

My great uncle was in Korea and he said of the people: "If they were on a position and you needed it; you had to kill everyone of them to take it. They did not run!"

I did see on the news that the Saudis killed the leader that killed the recent american.....

Oh, yes, my mistake. These people who were working on Saudi infrastructure were threatening muslim extremists. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
