Bravest. Person. Ever.

I typically avoid political topics like the plague. Thus, this is not commentary on whether or not the US should be in Iraq.
However, it is commentary on the incredible braveness of the amazing Italian hostage who was slaughtered by those cockbites on video yesterday.
[/b]Frattini recounted the contents of the tape, apparently described to him by the ambassador to Qatar, who watched the video and identified the victim.
"This boy, as the assassins were pointing the gun at him, tried to take off his hood and shouted: 'Now I'll show you how an Italian dies,'" Frattini said, adding, "He died as a hero." [b]
In-f'n-credible. 1000 times the man I could ever hope to be.

Kudos-I guess-for the guy being so brave...as for having more courage than the average CH suffer? I think a lot of us on this board have been through a lot and started the Beast down. More of us might have that in us than we think. 
God Bless the innocent that are caught in that mess.

What about the American their holding hostage? Isn't even a soldier. They threatened to kill him Sunday if there demands are not met. They were interviewing his wife and aunt on Larry King yesterday is what the news said.

Major vibes going out to my brothers of my homeland.
It takes a hero to ask your killer to look you in the eyes as he kills you, and thats what he did.
They never looked him in the eye......Fucking scumbag girl thingyi-es

Because I (WE) are so passionate about politics and religon etc I have tried to stay out of such threads. This is not one of those threads...this about the difference between heros and cowards (for lack of a better term).
The story is here.
Thank you Italy!
For more heros look here.

Can't imagine what it would be like to be held hostage with a mask over your face not knowing if you are about to be tortured and killed. It is some messed up world we are in and it doesn't look like it is getting better. I am grateful to be an American and feel relatively safe here, but who knows what the future holds for me, and for my my 2 yr old nieces.
