IRAQ NEEDS HELP (WARNING: GRAPHIC PIX)

[Carsman]

James Foley's mother is blaming the United States for her son's death. She's pissed that the US didn't negotiate with the terrorists and angry because she was discouraged from trying to raise a ransom, she even went so far as to say she was threatened with prosecution if she tried to raise the money.

I have felt sorry for this woman and her family but lets be real. The United States didn't really owe Jim Foley anything, he had already been held hostage once and choose to return, that's on him. Everyone knows our policy is not to negotiate with terrorists and we certainly don't pay a ransom for those who have been kidnapped.

I didn't see her hold her son responsible for anything. Her & her husband begged him not to return there but he did anyway and now his death is the fault of the United States government? Bitch please.

First grief, then anger, then understanding. Natural progression.
