The news from Iraq is a chilling reminder of the barbarity that plagues the Middle East. And it should be a reminder of what needs to be done to defeat the people who would behave so barbarically toward a corpse, or a living person. If our troops are ever called upon to stop the abuse of a fallen comrade (civilian or military) they should react as though the assailants were attacking a live person. No one who would do something like this would hesitate - except out of cowardice - to actually attempt to kill someone. We're past the point of being able to elicit love from such people. Fear is a good second prize.
