It is the craziest thing in the world for me and I want to see Khalid Sheikh Muhammad and company hung.

For one, I am delighted with the move by Eric Holder to finally get this done. I think that we should get back to American justice as fast as possible, rather than the world of enhanced interrogation techniques, aka torture. However, we must have the death sentence for these terrorists. We cannot allow them to have life sentences as that would risk terrorists holding up hostages in return for their release. Ask any Israeli and they would tell you that this is true.

That being said, I stress that it must, it must take place. I think it is absolutely crazy not to let it happen. What are we going to do: keep them in Guantanamo Bay forever? Does the far right really want to make that our concentration camp? Come on!

What are they afraid of : an acquittal? This is from former George W Bush’s Attorney General Mick Mukasey “The question with him (Khalid Sheikh Muhammad) was not about getting a confession, it was about getting intelligence.” They already had a confession! There is ample amount of proof that these terrorist murdered 3000 people. The chances of these guys not kissing the noose or staying in jail is as much as Adolf Hitler’s if he were alive to face the tribunals.

Are they afraid of a media circus? You know what, I want the world to see that America is back! That we can hang this piece of crap. If Khalid Sheikh Muhammad and others want to spew their bull-crap, we can get throw them out of their courts. The Conservatives fear that these people would be able to change their defense and that would increase the length of the trial. My question to them back is : How many murderers do we send to prison even though they have the very same rights? It does not make sense.

There are also many Conservatives who fear that this would mean that the President Bush’s policies would be put on trial. I am a person that clearly thinks that Enhanced Interrogation Techniques are an excuse for torture. However, the legal system would not be so stupid to confuse torture with this. The case is about the evidence, not some external issue.

They know these facts! They are just acting so scared. They are just being crazy and paranoid. There is absolutely nothing to be worried about! Nothing! I think that they know it and they are doing this just to gain attention. Just like how the liberals do to get our troops out of Afghanistan.

Lets be the bloodhounds that smell blood. Lets be equally interested in justice. Lets make sure that more than 3000 people not die in vain. Lets hang those basta**s.

They would be targeting drug traffickers instead. I think that this should be the best compromise for those who are in favor of medical marijuana legalization with those who are against it.

Attorney General Eric Holder has also said that the decision to go after marijuana consumers would be left to the States. So while medical marijuana advocates can forget about smoking pot in Texas, they can legally do so in California.

The medical marijuana pharmacies should be too happy in California, though. The law over there clearly states that the medical marijuana pharmacies should only be able to operate if it is not for profit. Good luck on that!

My stance on medical marijuana is very simple, keep it medical. I also have the same for prescription drugs. I do not think that drugs like these should be bought in stores. They should only be bought with doctor’s consent and taken in the doctor’s or nurse’s presence. Should they get addicted to it, we go after the doctors, just like we would do with if patients are addicted to other drugs in similar situations.

The reason for this is that we should not make the same mistake with marijuana that we have made with cigarettes and alcohol. We must not be paying for the abuse of the substances by other people like we are with alcohols and drugs. Hence, we should make sure that there be no addiction and there must be proper administration of marijuana

The science of marijuana is real. We all know that it can help reduce pain. We know that it is not as addictive as other drugs and that it is less harmful than alcohol to our health. I also think that if doctors say that it can be a drug why are we arguing against them? Aren’t they the subject matters in their own field? Would we argue against an engineer about the structure of our buildings or the amount of current in our I-pods? Why is it that the only subject matter experts that we are against are the Generals and the doctors?

However, like other intoxicants, if abused there would be self inflicted consequences. It is the same for cigarettes and in fatty food. Therefore, I think that to prevent marijuana from being abused, the doctor should be present. We know how to deal with fatty foods and cigarettes, but most of us would not know how to deal with marijuana addiction. We never have had it before.

Also, with marijuana being so easy to grow, I hope that this does not lead to deforestation or us being complacent about it. I hope that there does not come a day where we would take marijuana for a headache rather than Paracetamol.

Lastly, I think that the people who push for the legalization of pot should not complain any further. They can go after the States, but how much more do they want the government to bend to their will? What more do they want?
