It doesn't seem to matter to them, why should it matter so much to us? This isn't a Gentleman's War by any means or stretch of the imagination, neither is it a fair fight as both sides have a distinct advantage in different areas. I see no need to fight it as either.

They have not beheaded any American soldiers, just civilian contractors, most being non-American by the way. And the workers you refer to as guys who are there to "lend a humanitarian hand" are actually doing it for the money. Nobody in their right minds would go to Iraq and risk being killed to help rebuild. These guys know the risk of going to Iraq and if they get beheaded why should I feel sorry for them? If money is more valuable and important to them than their life, then oh well, tough luck for them. I am not justifying the actions of the "insurgents", but I don’t feel sorry for the workers either. I rather be a bum on the street without a dime in my name rather than be beheaded.
Do not forget that the amount of civilians killed in Iraq by Americans GREATLY out weight the amount of American "civilians" beheaded. Unfortunately American media makes American life seem much more valuable than Iraqi life, which is why you never hear about how many innocent Iraqi civilians have died, but you hear about one beheading for weeks on end. Sad really that people are so ignorant and racist that they couldn't care less about Iraqi life. When you watch the news, or for that matter, even the presidential debates, do you ever hear about the tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis murdered, a lot of them being children? No, all you hear is the "poor" 1000 troops who fought with "bravery" and "honor" to help these poor souls..........all while killing the innocent I mentioned.
Revenge is not the answer, 2800 deaths on 9/11 have resulted in thousands more. Has terrorism been defeated? No. Is terrorism ever going to be defeated? No. Have numerous amounts of people died over nothing? Yes. Will terrorism and death of innocent people continue? Yes. War was not the answer and never will be.
