Does that mean they are going to hang George W?

They tried that in Viet Nam, too. Instead of teaching anyone a lesson, they created more insurgents.

Tom: Yes, and the US lost in Vietnam. Which of course means that the Vietnamese people lost, also.

I don't know if I support or oppose the Iraqi govt executing alleged terrorists. Ultimately I oppose the death penalty, and also military executions. But do I also oppose John Brown and Nat Turner killing those slavers? No.

One condition of my support for these executions would be that the executers really are democrats and the executed really are terrorists.
