- It hasn't been formally declared.
- Insufficient attention has been paid to all of the alien non-citizens currently in this country.
I agree. But since Congress hasn't declared war. My problem is this:
1. What happens when the terrorists are apprehended? Do they go through our judicial system just like any common criminal? Who knows, he might even be acquitted or paroled in 15 or 20 years. Most of them are young guys. Fifteen, twenty or even thirty years in jail to a 25 years old is not that bad.
2. Wouldn't this kind of justice applied to a terrorist after the devastated damage inflicted on our nation in fact weaken our image as a superpower in the eyes of the world and as a consequence embolden potential terrorists to continue their wave of terror and destruction?
3. And what does this do to our nation's pride and dignity. Not only have we gone through the pain and suffering of burying over 5,000 of our dead, but justice delayed is justice denied.
And what do we do if 10 years down the road, some liberal idiot, i.e., Clinton, decides to "pardon" these people as a show of solidarity, i.e., FALN, or the need to win an election?
