Why haven't the radical Islaamists not continued beheading people? Given the media air play it gets, it seems like an effective way to terrorize.
Possible answers -
1. Lack of captured victims
2. There's really only a few Islaamists that radical as to cut off heads.
3. The world opinion against those weho do it has affected them, causing them to think it doesn't help their cause.
4. Abu Ghariab struck theh fear of America into them
5. Some unreported action by teh US military has scared the fear of America into them
Whatta ya think?
My take is this - the ONLY thing they understand is force. And tehy prey on weakness, and perceived weakness.
I'd say its somethign unreported our military is doing that has struck fear into them - enuf so they don't behead people as much as they'd like.
