Who thinks a gas station is a good place to gruesomely express political views? Apparently the makers of the conservative documentary film, Buried in the Sand: The Deception of America, do.

Until recently, the DVD version was being sold at a Tampa, Fla., gas station. Buried in the Sand was made in response to Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11. Hosted by political commentator Mark Taylor, the documentary shows graphic footage of Iraq under the rule of Saddam Hussein to take the position that the U.S. acted out of moral obligation.

Don't worry, I'm not going to give you a litany of my views on the war, because I'd much rather keep those thoughts to myself. Besides, the footage I just mentioned is not what really bothers me. It is the footage of the recent beheadings of at least two American citizens included in the movie that really disturbs me.

The point the filmmakers seem to be making is that because the Iraqi people suffer under a barbaric and violent leadership, the U.S. must help. However, when the only scenes they portray are suicide bombings, torture, dismemberment, beatings, children being "indoctrinated" and unedited beheadings, the only message that comes across is that terrorists are bad.

No matter how controversial your position is, there is a right way and a wrong way to make a point. Showing unedited footage of American citizens having their heads violently severed from their bodies is the wrong way.

While the public claims it has a right to know everything that is going on in the government and in the war, there are some things people do not need to see. The war in Iraq is being handled by people who are far more knowledgeable on the subject. The average citizen does not need detailed footage of fellow citizens being murdered.

The film sickeningly attempts to give people a pro-America opinion about the war. However, the film evokes disgust and grief, not patriotism. Showing the deaths of American citizens in Iraq may even give some a reason not to support the war.

Though the DVD is no longer sold in the Tampa gas station, it is still being sold online at sites like Amazon.com and Yahoo! Shopping.

Vulgarly showing why America needs to get revenge on the violent terrorists is offensive and does not support a pro-war cause.
