antman said:Perhaps that would make you feel better but what would it acheive? And if you want to extend this approach to terrorists, they are willing to die for their cause anyway, so no deterrence there either.
Your hard-line approach acheives nothing except to make you feel better about yourself. And those who disagree with your approach become "apologists" and "traitors".
I don't expect much support on internet forums which are predominantly patronised by lefties. But there are a lot of people without a voice who feel similarly. A lot.
By all means keep pretending there's no problem and when terror inevitably comes a knockin' you can produce a printout of this thread as evidence that you understand the "terrorists" are actually good guys no different from yourself. I'm sure your faith in extremism will pay off.
