British Nationals Murdered Abroad.
Figures from the Foreign Office show that around 60 British nationals are murdered abroad each year. Does the murder of one, no matter how grotesque the circumstances, justify going to war?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Incidentally, why do you describe (in your OP) the circumstances as grotesque? The Holy Koran exhorts the faithful to behead oppressors, doesn't it? As this method of execution has been explicitly prescribed (certainly endorsed) by Allah, then to describe it as grotesque seems to indicate an overly fastidious,vitiated (and possibly irreverent) Western view and not an authentic Islamic one. The only relevant question about the murders is not how they were effected, but whether a British aid worker and an American journalist can be properly classified as oppressors in the context in which the Koran advocates this form of punishment. I can refer you to a scholarly exegesis (posted earlier on a different thread) if you wish.
