There is a repeated line out in the web from people who are against bringing the 9/11 terrorists to trial in New York. The stand that they tend to take is that since the terrorists were caught in Pakistan, they should be tried over in Pakistan rather than in the United States of America.

Look, there would be a lot of nuts that would just oppose this measure since President Obama Obama suggested it. These are the far right. The far left would simply go ga-ga over this rule and would like it the same manner that the far right hates it. To these people, these article is not for you! This is for the saner readers.

That being said, I think it is very ridiculous that these people think like that! Come on! Where in the world have they been living? Crime is always punished at the state/country it happened. It is something that happens all over the world.

For example, if someone murders someone in Washington but was caught across the border at British Columbia, Canada, something that happens once in a while, the Canadians do not hear his/ her trial in Canada. They would extradite that person to Washington and then, criminal proceedings would begin. This also happens state to state within our nation unless, it falls under the jurisdiction of the FBI (bank robbery, crimes in multiple states, or across state lines etc) . It rightfully happens all the time!

Yes some of you would point out that Pakistan has also have suffered atrocities at the hands of Al Qaeda. However, no ne at that time, suffered a higher casualty than America did on 9/11. We lost about 3000 lives that day, something that all other countries have not suffered.

E.g. If a person killed 10 people in Washington and was caught in British Columbia where he committed robbery, the Canadians would usually extradite that person to the Washington. The only exceptions would be if they have got some issues with our laws, or some extreme cases where Canada is affected. The Pakistanis have got no excuses here.

Some people mention about how the Japanese were tried in Japan in World War two and not in the United States where they destroyed Pearl Harbor. The difference in that situation and this is, that that was a war! This is not a war. President Bush’s “war on terror” slogan is no longer used. It is now global contingency operations. It is not one state attacking another, it is criminals against the state.

I would also like to reiterate the need to try these people on our land. It would be the justice that we deserved. The Iraqis saw Saddam Hussein being hung. I think America should have her day and see that Khalid Sheik Muhammad and company be hung too. That would be justice!

I also would like to stress that there should not be the “abolishment” of the death penalty in this case. Keeping prisoners forever would only lead to future hijackings or kidnappings where the release of these prisoners would be sought as ransom. It is something that has been used by the militants before, and would be used again in the future.

We in ST would also like to remind readers that tomorrow is the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

Palin’s shameful I told you so

We mentioned it in the last few articles, now hear it from the serpent’s mouth. Former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin would let all her followers on Facebook know what she really feels and the venom that she spits on former Republican challenger Dede Scozzafava.

Here is the quote from her Facebook page : “Unfortunately, the Republican Party today has decided to choose a candidate who more than blurs the lines, and there is no real difference between the Democrat and the Republican in this race. Scozzafava’s backing of the Democrat proves (Governor) Sarah (Palin) was right. Scozzafava isnt a Republican.”

Do you guys what she is saying? Governor Palin does not like the moderate positions of Ms Scozzafava at all. What policies of Ms Scozzafava’s policy does she not like? Financially, she is just about the same as Doug Hoffman. She does not like the socially liberal views of Ms. Scozzafava. She does not like the fact that Ms. Scozzafava is pro choice. She does not like it that Ms. Scozzafava favors gay marriage and that she does not think that homosexuality should be a federal crime.

These are all the things that make her say right now, “Hey I told you so. See, that lady is not a Republicans.” And boom she is out! It is literally tearing apart the big tent that President Reagan set up for the Republican Party. Dissent is no longer allowed.

That is why I am very disturbed. This is literally purging of different ideas. You do not like this list of requirements, you are not part of the Republican Party. I really do not like that. This is what make dictatorships. This is what dictators like Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein did. You do not follow this, this, this; you get out of the Republican Party.

If they can do that to people within their own party, how about us? I am an Independent. I am pro choice, would they consider me an enemy of the state? Not a real American? There are already many out there that think that America was built by Republican / Conservative values!

Can you imagine if the left wing did this? I am for our involvement in Afghanistan till the Taliban is eliminated. Can you imagine if the left come up and say that people like me who think differently are enemies of America? Can you imagine if they said that people who think like me are cold blooded murderers because I am for the death penalty? That is why I am so piss off about this right now.

I am really angry that they really do not like it when a Republican back a Democrat. Were they complaining last year when the Independent Senator Joe Liebermann endorsed Senator John McCain? Why can’t they see just Americans rather than Republicans and Democrats?

These crazy Republicans have crossed the line. I am not against all Republicans. I like people like General Colin Powell, Senator Chuck Hagel, Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson etc. I am against the far right nuts that really could drag our country to hell.

Enough is enough! We do not need people to tell us what to think and what not to think! I think it is high time that we start purging them back for a change!
