Re: “Bin Laden Threatens Any Americans Held” (March 26, 2010)
To the Editor:
It does seem to be the, “height of absurdity” to think in anyway that Al Qaeda has any Americans alive and in their possession today. Not to sound morbid but with the numbers of those tortured and beheaded by the organization it is ridiculous to believe that those in the hands of Al Qaeda are safe and unharmed. Bin Laden is playing the American heartstrings like a guitar, claiming they have possession of our citizens and will not kill them in exchange for the life of one of their own.
To Americans it may seem strange that those affiliated with organizations like Al Qaeda support and endorse suicide bombing, but do not like the idea of a “chief planner” being executed by the country he tried to destroy. It appears to be the easy way out in my eyes. Suicide, death, execution, whatever you would like to call it is all just the easy way out. These acts are simply a way to get the guilty out of our minds and out of our prisons. Why not let the man live out his natural life always thinking about the pain he caused and the lives he stole? This would be the greatest revenge as well as a way to show those after him, we do not tolerate terrorism and will not let you take the easy way out.
Death, in a way, means forgiveness.
