LET'S ALL SYMPATHIZE

     Those poor Taliban guys on Guantanamo. Basking in that sunshine and balmy breezes (want to try Afghanistan in the winter?) Supported fully by our do-gooder left wingers who are concerned that they be treated in a humane way (whatever that is) . My heart bleeds for them. I wonder if it ever occurred to these citizens of super mercy that these guys cooped up in Gauntanamo have only one mission in life  –  to kill Americans. Kids, babies, old folks, women, soldiers, civilians  –  all of the above. Whoever gets in the way. They don't want our land, money or possessions. They just want to kill. Does it ever occur to our hand-wringers that these are not likely candidates for rehabilitation??

     Personally, I am not too concerned about their confort. My guess is that given the opportunity, the great majority of inmates at San Quentin and Pelican Bay (not exactly in the prison resort category) would say,  ”Send me to Guantanamo”. My concern is what we will do with them  – long range. Do we kill them all?  Lock them up for 50-100 years at untold expense? Or slap their wrists and let them go so they can ply their murderous trade again and again? The courts and military tribunals do not have the the long range solutions for people like these. So what do we do with them?? 

     Nowadays, my sympathy goes more in the directiion of  the time-honored military axiom, “Take no prisoners”.
