#2  Anyone heard of a donation from Al Quasimi to Saddam's victims? to the victims of Soudanese genocide? to the victims of Tsunami? No? Just what I thought.

Now anyone has an objection to this guy being beheaded?

#1  And there will be loud objections to their having to leave their vehicles at the entrance to Fallujah, being fingerprinted and retina-scanned and given an ID card to wear at all times in the city. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if when they came to the first inspection point, they didn't just turn their vehicles around and leave, later either claiming that "The Americans didn't let us in", or that they "Delivered everything to the grateful Fallujans."
