I dispute your premise. O.J. is a major catachresis. The question isn't "do we want to do the right thing or do we just want to do the thing that makes us feel good." Who says nobody was trying to kill O.J.? If the death penalty was available, he would have gotten it...but I won't go there!!! ;P Our constitution applies to Americans, otherwise the freedom of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness would have applied to those who were killed in the WTC by terrorists. You didn't see those freedoms extended by the terrorist last month. Are you implying that terrorism only started post Russian/Afgan war? :eek: How old are you??? If I were an Afgan, I would mind my own biz and go eat the free food dropped from sky. So...Do you think if we just sit back and let them have whatever they want (your head included here) that they will stop being terrorists? Let's say that all the Jews were somehow moved out of the middle east and they took control of the entire region. What would happen next? Are you going to tell me world wide peace would ensue? Shake off the torpor!! These are terrorist, not driven by hunger, not driven by the Russian wars.
