KANDAHAR, Afghanistan, June 22 (Reuters) - Afghan soldiers beheaded four Taliban fighters after guerrillas cut off the heads of an Afghan interpreter for U.S.-led forces and an Afghan soldier, a government commander said on Tuesday.
The interpreter and the soldier were beheaded after becoming separated from a patrol of Afghan and U.S.-led foreign troops in the Arghandab district of Zabul province on Monday night, Namatullah Tokhi, commander of the government's 27th division in the province, told Reuters.
He said government troops later captured and killed four Taliban guerrillas in the same way. "They cut of their heads with a knife, so when our forces arrested four Taliban, we cut off their heads too."
Some say the bible references an eye for an eye and others only turn the other cheek. Some would say that this avenging beheading is immoral, an atrocity a horror. They'd even go as far as saying this puts the good guys on the same level as the terrorists. Now I know that you won't ever hear of this type of action from the US, but I say if the people of other nations want to avenge their losses this way I have to say I am all for it.
This type of horrible repercussion may be what it takes to stop the chicken shit actions of a few men (If you can call them that) who cower behind masks.
To the Afghani's I say thank you. Give these terrorist pieces of shit just what they deserve!
SlagleRock Out!
Just as an aside, "an eye for an eye" means not that you should *take* an eye for an eye, but that you don't get any more than that.
Still, emulating the Afghans is tempting.

You go for it, guys! I'm all for fighting "by the book" and all, but what has been happening in this so-called war is simply unhuman, inhuman, inhumane and just durn unfair - making any rules of engagement and legalities such as the Geneva Convention a joke. On our side. God bless the Afghans. They're fighting for their Country's future just like the Iraqis. Wonder if the Iraqis will tip too?
