With the statements above you clearly demonstrate your irrational sympathy with terrorists. Every legal system recognizes the right of the individual to defend against mortal threat. The terrorist boarded flight 93 with the intent of committing mass murder. The passengers were in the wrong place at the wrong time and decided to attempt to defend their lives. They ended up dying, but saving he lives of unknown others in the processs. Do not soil their act by equating them with the terrorists. The United states ignored international terrorist for twenty years including all of the Clinton Administration. This failure to engage a clear enemy bent on killing americans, and enemy bent on escalating their acts of terror, brought us to September 11, 2001. The way to prevent history from repeating itself is to engage and defeat this enemy. The terorist are illegal combatants under article 4 and tribunals and Gitmo are the all justice they deserve. War is a dirty business, expecially a war like this. Many innocents have died and many more will die. If the tribunals do their job, the guilty will be puinshed beffiting their crimes. You need to think about what type of world might come into being if surrender to the terrorists become a reality. With that, I sign off from this thread and commit it to the spam filter.
