I agree, but at least if they feel they got justice with this one it will prevent a lynch mob for looking for the others right away and possible hanging more innocent people.

This whole situation could get very ugly very quickly.

I agree. If they want to lynch the bad guys, that's fine with me -- wish I could help them. But when a crowd gets too emotional, bad things happen. I'd hate for them to attack or kill some hostage, based on a misunderstanding or something. That kind of "friendly fire" just makes the whole bad situation even worse.

As frustrating as it is to wait for courts to do their work, there's a reason civilized people try to work through a court process -- to protect the innocent, not to protect the guilty.

I would bet they have a great idea which people are the terrorists and which are innocent citizens. Afterall, there were 1000 people in there.

I would hope there will be extreme repercussions - this should not be treated lightly. If they want to see the populace handle international relations, just get the children involved. There will not be trials, there will not be prison terms, there will be no consideration of terrorists' rights. They will be exterminated as soon as possible because there is no rehabilitation for people (?) who would do such.
