Punishment

7 November 2003

In the USA we have long pursued a practice of making penalties fit crimes. We also began our judicial system with the belief that proper, swift justice would deter others from committing the same crime.

Now we turn to radical Islamists. The death penalty is perceived as a reward to them. So, what is the worst form of penalty for someone who considers death a badge of honor. What brings about the ultimate shame?

I’m sick of every bit of world news being about what these factions have done to our military, and I’m sick of the traitors in this country using the actions of the Islamic radicals to undermine our own values. It’s time to take the gloves off and get down to business – media, leftists, traitors, naysayers and global image notwithstanding.
