So you're telling me you are for the death penalty in the judicial system.
Who are we to decide on who should die and who should not??
So i guess Saddam should be put to court, and then sentenced to death, right?
There is a big difference for me in trying to get rid of someone so as to shorten the war or for strategic reasons in time of war, but its another trying to kill someone because he is 'evil'or when the war is over.
So as for killing Chemical Ali, if killing him had a strong strategic value, i guess this is part of war... Otherwise its murder.
I'm not fully against the death penalty, but i'm not for it either... since it is not for us to decide who should die and who should not.
On the other hand, when our prison system is like a club Med... I also have a problem. For me prison, for the worst offendors, should be a place where they can reflect on their actions with as little pleasure as possible ...
For those people, it should be a bit like the bread and water prisons of the middle ages (probably a *bit* less harsh, because that would violate the UN prisoners convention)...
