Members RA1 Posted June 13, 2013 Members Posted June 13, 2013 I agree with all the reasons stated to not force feed these prisoners. From a pragmatic political point of view, some of them are going to be viewed as martyrs regardless of what the US does or does not do, so there is little reason to "double-think" moves and motives. Generally, I think these prisoners should have had a military trial and likely most of them executed for war crimes. However, the real problem, aside from world and domestic politics, is recidivism. Where ever those who might be released go, they will almost surely become active terrorists (again). But, apparently someone in authority has decided their crimes are not sufficient to execute or permanently imprison. So, we all are faced with "lingering death" vs. sudden death to us a sports comparison. Best regards, RA1 Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Sometimes it's very hard to witness what we are capable of doing to other human beings. It's an ethical dilemma. I hope in my after life there are a lot of happy things. Not sure I will need shoes in heaven since the floors will be meticulously clean there, I suppose, and I will have very clean feet with smooth skin so I will just put on colors on my toes. Wonder there are therapists there? I do hope so... Quote
Members RA1 Posted June 13, 2013 Members Posted June 13, 2013 hito- I wish you nothing but happiness in the hereafter and I hope that your pedicurists are able to satisfy your desires as well as provide shoes to your liking. I do not know if there are such things as mental therapists who specialize in foot therapy as well as offering "companionship". In the meantime, during our tenure on earth, we have to deal with those who will willingly kill us or do other bodily harm. I mean to counteract those if I can. Best regards, RA1 Quote
