    A more fair punishment would have been turning him loose in a stadium (cause thats the size venue it would take) full of the people whos lives he ruined or whos families he murdered.

    Yeah, we can get George Bush in there for the afternoon show.

    Civilized and Barbaric are pretty subjective words. Would you really call America primitive? The entire society is primitive because there is a law or two that you disagree with?

    No, it's not just a law or two. That is only part of it. It's the "entire" big picture of celebrity worship, UFC fighting, gangster rap, supplying weapons in the name of humanitarian aid, the list goes on.

    Either it's wrong to kill people or it isn't. We supported him while he used chemical warfare against Iran, then decided he deserved to die later on when it was believed he would use it against "us". Or so they said.

    Whether or not you recognize the hypocrisy, it disgusts me.

    There is no reasonable form of execution. Unless you live in a barbaric country like Iran, China, or the United States where it is acceptable to murder people.

    But I guess the rules don't apply if you REALLY don't like the guy anymore.

    We liked him just fine when he was using chemical warfare on Iran. Maybe it's just a special punishment reserved for former friends who turned bad through no fault of their own.

    Well the Conservatives have had a majority more than a couple of times over the last several decades without ever signing "us up to be Americans".

    Ahhh yes, now we get back to Brian Mulroney and the FTA without binding arbitration. But we'll just take them to court Brian told us, and they'll have to play by the rules. They're our friends he said. Thanks for the softwood lumber fiasco, and thanks Stephen Harper for giving up the fight.

    Which doesn't explain why your freedom loving Liberal Party didn't do it for the 30 years they had a majority.

    It also doesn't explain why Stephen Harper is trying so hard to undo the progress that has been made.

    The Liberals at least gave us a constitution. The Conservatives would have signed us up to be Americans if they had formed many majority governments.

    Oh so you're an anti-semite, too?

    1000 people are dead in Gaza. 2/3 of them civilians. Similar numbers in Lebanon. I'm an antisemite for thinking they overstepped their bounds and someone should tell them so or at the very least stop giving them weapons until they do. You are a fool for saying so.

    I want the government to send a message that we will not harbor criminals and cowards.

    That is fine. Not wanting to fight a war that is unwinnable which only makes things worse does not make you either a coward or a criminal. It makes you a free person, rather than being someone who is ruled by an oppressive regime.

    Tell that to AQI. Or Saddam, for that matter.

    Tell that to Israel which Stephen Harper makes weekly pronouncements about how great and wonderful they are. The same Israel who murdered over a thousand Palestinians recently. Over 400 of them children. Using weapons that the western world gave them in the name of "humanitarian aid". The U.S. is in no position to be the world police if it involves that level of hypocrisy.
