Sorry friends; flame if you must, but I'm leaning towards mercy for this pathetic, brainwashed kid. If anyone deserves killing, it's the father who abandoned him.
He did, remember, reject Marin County. He sought truth; he tried to repair the hole his parents left in him. The mullahs over there could see him coming and worked him over, their star pupil.
We are a Christian nation, forgiveness is our bedrock. I sense that this kid can redeem himself and pay back his debt.
How many of you opposed Vietnam? Central America? I did; I'm late to the table. But I got the chance to grow up. I'd be a hypocrit if I denied him the same.
I don't know how he can do this, unless he can bring Americans killed by the Taliban back to life again.
