Terrorizing good people

Beheadings are effective at terrorizing us, because those things horrify a humane, compassionate people. We do not have the stomach for it; we're not soldiers. The terrorists know this. It is their way of bypassing the military and engaging each one of us in psychological warfare, knowing that, in democratic societies, we can pressure our leaders to capitulate. WE MUST NOT CAPITULATE!! We must stay strong! We must RESIST EVIL, or we will be ruled by it!
