So he thought he'd just go and kill a few Americans - some of whom may have even been muslims, for all he knew.
Pure psycho-babel BS.
He is guilty as hell of being evil as hell and he only needs to be in the hospital until he's well enough to walk to the lethal injection bed.
There are, sadly, too many cases of American soldiers committing suicide before or after deployment. They did not choose to deal with their personal torment by engaging in a suicide mission against unarmed muslims in a mosque, in spite of the atrocities they have seen committed in the name of islam and the loss of their comrades at the hands of islamic militants. Nidal planned and carried out a deliberate attack on his comrades and fellow citizens because of his islamic fate, not because he was traumatized or feared for his own safety in an overseas deployment.
How many IRA sympathizers do you think were given commissions in the British military? I suspect that the British military was particularly diligent about any recruit with a direct link to Northern Ireland and that they would have jumped on even the slightest hint of a soldier’s sympathy for the Irish terrorists.
Nidal set off enough warning lights to cover the entire Christmas tree on the White House lawn. If Lieberman is successful in investigating this incident, we’ll find out that those warning lights were ignored at every level of command.
