I have to pose this question again. When was the last time an executed rapist and murderer went out and murdered an innocent person? IMO, I think it is more important for the innocent victim to not become victims, rather than having a scumbag live with the high probably that person will commit the crime again. I would think twice of doing a crime if I knew this would be my punishment. Getting together and singing kumbaya is not going to solve the crime situation and it definitely will not solve terrorism. Again this is my opinion.
I know what the 9/11 commission found. I forgot to mention this and this is very important at least one would think it would be. But I live in a heavy military populated area. I know some troops that have been there. I have listened to interviews with troops that are or have been over there. I will take the word of someone that is there and has seen more than what those in Washinton supposedly found. So I have heard straight from the mouth of soldiers as to what is actually found and what is going on. BTW, while my dad was undergoing chemotherapy at Walter Reed, I saw some soldiers there that have lost a limb or two. It is so sad to see, but oddly enough some of them believe so much in what we are doing, they want to go back! Yeah, I'll take their word anyday rather than someone like say, Rosie O(Overrated)Donnel. I even heard in one interview from a soldier that he gets really hurt when he hears the rhetoric reported on the news. Like, Bush lied to us, etc... But, I guess the hatred for Bush far outweighs all other things for some people. It used to be in the old days the country united during war time no matter what party they were for. They understood back then that kumbaya wasn't going to cut it.
As for the statement that our President made about going after saddam because he tried to kill his father. I don't doubt that you heard this. I would like to hear the entire radio address in it's full context.
Again, not trying to change minds. Just trying to give the other side of the story which is not told alot. Certainly not by the media with their own agenda.
Peace out,
