The country I always knew and grew up in did. The best we can do is to make sure it never happens again.

I know I'm one of the ones who think the same as the poster who said, "my country died with Terri." Well, maybe not quite but we are on life support and I'm glad another lady who was facing the same thing was saved. I know Terri shook me so much is that I am currently anti-capital punishment on the grounds that because of Terri, the State should not have the right to take anyone's life (although taking life for self defense, the protection of society and in war is still OK with me) although criminals still should be punished. Even the war on terror and Iraq are ringing hollow with me because of Terri, I think we have lost or are losing the moral and ethical high ground. I still support those two, but I think we need to get back on track morally and ethically. Well, again, I'm glad we saved the next lady in that situation but we have opened a can of worms with Terri and we must work to re-can them even if it means "getting a larger can."

We will have to be careful now when we preach to other countries about human rights. Until we get our own house in order regarding judge-sanctioned murders it's going to seem hypocritical of us lecturing third world countries about what they shouldn't be doing.
