Politics - Part I

I can't help feeling that the Moussaoui verdict is the correct one. My reasoning isn't so much reasoning as a feeling that you just don't execute someone for the thing that they didn't do. I'm sure he's a bad guy. I think he has emotional problems (who doesn't) but that he's sane, whatever that means. He's definately a little boingy in that he asked to be executed and after the verdict said something like America, I won and you didn't. If he really had wanted to be executed, this verdict should be viewed as a loss. Muslims around the world will now look at American justice and its civility, or at least they won't do the oposite, which they might have if this jury had voted for the death penalty. Do we care what Muslims think? Yeah, as much as we care what any religious group thinks, or any group with a billion people in it. Silly to say 'what they think' though, as this is not a homogenious group.

Still I would like to see the war on Muslims, the war in the Middle East, the war on terrorism, or whatever you call it, be fought with public relations.

Killing people isn't good.
