That's just totally sick and disgusting. Maybe I should pass the next time ogrish.com offers me something to watch...
The head doesn't necessarily have to bleed that much (this ain't no Kill Bill), the main bleeding, I believe, would come from the neck. And because of the poor camerawork (which actually makes me wonder more than the lack of blood) we can't see that well how much blood there is.
And an American official said the corpse of Nick Berg was later found on a road bank.
And to Ranger's question:
No, I don't think the fight against terrorism can ever be win, not like this anyway. Like he said, everyone on this planet can become a terrorist and use whatever they can find as a weapon. So unless we can monitor every person alive 24/7 we can't stop terrorism. It can never be completely extinguished, but it could one day perhaps be reduced to a low enough level to say it doesn't exist anymore.

The hate comes from somewhere, its not spontaneous. Of course some of the people would hate the western countries, especially the USA, no matter what. But others are heavily affected by the politics of the US and other western countries. What I'm getting at is that instead/in addition to fighting the war the US and the rest of the world should also consider what is causing the hate. The American people (generalization) think their homeland is the best country there can be and everything they do is good. The rest of the world don't see it that way. (At least some) of the terrorists don't have as strong a hate against many other western countries perhaps because they are not trying to rule the world and/or feed their culture and values to everyone.
Terrorism is wrong, that's a given. But there's always a reason for it, no matter how stupid it is. So the world should not only fight the consequences, but also the reasons. We are determined to lose, or keep fighting forever if we just assume that "they hate us for no reason at all and we can do nothing but fight them with force." That's a dead end.
