I have read all of your posts and I think I understand your point of view. I just think it is wrong. If Pearl were a Brit or a French man I could understand, but he is American, and we take care of our own. Even the Chinese take care of Chinese that are abused in other countries. Are we to abandon one of our own just because he showed poor judgement? Regardless of what you think of Pearl personally, it is the adventuress and independent spirit of Americans like him that have helped make America great.
Hiding your head in the sand will only make the terrorists bolder. They must know that America will stike back if they attack one of our own or Americans will not be safe anywhere, even in America.
