NP. I did come off harshly, so that is understandable.

'we'll take you down permanently' means that we'll go to any lengths to protect
our freedoms, even killing terrorists if it comes down to it. Personally, I feel
that this is a case where simple death would not suffice. Videotaped torture
ending in death is much more appropriate followed by sending the videotape back
to the true orchestrater of the carnage is much more appropriate, but U.S. and
U.N. laws seem to have a problem with this. Extrodinary circumstances call for
extreme measures.
I keep having visions of the folks on the upper floors of tower #1 who watched
as tower #2 was hit and collapsed upon itself. I keep seeing confused people who
know that they are about to die the same way, but haven't a clue why. This is
why I feel any simple death for a terrorist isn't nearly enough. They should
have to relive exactly what they put their victims through before visiting Allah
on their way to hell.
Yes, I'm still a peaceful person at heart. Terrorist activity has a way of
altering one's perception of how things are and how they should be.

We finally agree on something!
