As far as justice what do you think would be easier. Would you rather be killed instantly or would you rather be paraded in front of people having to listen to testimony about how evil you are, be pronounced guilty and then have to wait until an appointed time, sweating it out until the noose is put about your neck and you are hanged before a world rejoicing over your death.
A quick death is too easy. A good trial is a cathartic for the whole world. A public death sets a much bigger example then someone killed in secret. It would be much harder for Islamic terrorist to forget as they understand one thing and that is strength. It takes strength and national charactor to give someone a fair trial and then sentence them to the death that they so richly deserve.
If Hitler never stood trial for the Beer Hall Putsch, he would never have been in position to take power in Germany. He used that trial essentially as a launching pad for his path to power.
Hmm ~
OK but if these nut balls are gonna blow Americans up I sure hope it is elected officials for a change. Then maybe we will actually get serious about this terrorist problem!
Think about this. The Next “Bill Ayers” could be whacked. Declare Terrorists and then whack them. It’s now a legal strategy. Saves time and money.
No lawyers, no fuss, no mess.
