Tom Fox

Perhaps you have heard by now that another American was beheaded in Iraq. What makes it somewhat more close to home is the fact that the victim kept his own weblog.

Read it, it will make you wonder why this man was targeted, and then you will realize once again that convictions have nothing to do with the killing in Iraq. The killings are stereotypes: "You're American so you bad man." "You Iraqi so you bad by definition". It really doesn't go much beyond that.

This man's blog proves that there may be something to be said for weblogs after all. These are all of his own words remaining and they should lack an expirationdate, they should be protected.


Waiting in the light.
