7. Didn't that actually happen?

I mean, didn't GWB say something about preventing those pilots from doing it again?

I hope it's a comic novel and I get to read it.

2. They should be allowed...

to rot in prison along side the very people they hate. Death is what they seek. Prison is better punishment IMO!

3. Shouldn't that be "if they DON'T detonate"?

Al Franken did a bit about the "world's unluckiest" suicide bomber. He was assigned to detonate in a movie theater. First he went to that terrible Jennifer Lopez movie--he was the only one there. So he decided to attend a movie that was getting good reviews. The theater was crowded, all right, but he got so absorbed in the movie he forgot the real reason why he was there!

10. To quote the bright one with the megaphone... "We're gonna send

a message to those people who flew those planes into these buildings". Message should read... "You are dead".

11. The death penalty rewards terrorists for their crimes

These idiots want to die. Let them rot in prison for the rest of their lives! Life w/o parole is a punishment worse than death for suicide bombers.

12. Just playing devil's advocate here

Edited on Sun Mar-12-06 01:24 PM by Syncronaut Seven

Don't you think it's just a wee bit more complex than that? Remeber, Progressives think in shades of grey. That's why we feel such anguish and shame for what the Neocons have done to our country.

Many of us are wise enough to chose a third path.

It's easy to dismiss a man as crazy if you don't understand his motivations and lifes pain.

How would you react if Israeli tanks flattened the skulls of your children in the street.

How would you respond if an American dropped your baby sister with a single shot to the head because she had to pee?

Just sayin, perhaps a bit more perspective might be in order.

Edit: sp.
