Yanks: leave off this Lockerbie Bomber

[davieddy]

Most of us have serious misgivings about his guilt
in the first place.
The "eye for an eye, some SOB (don't care who) gonna pay" mentality
makes us puke.

God on Our Side?
Don't make me larf.

Oh yes, nearly forgot:
British Petroleum's fault.

Well then you Brits lay off the white wigs.

Hey, that's not us. That's some old people in old rooms enacting old rituals.

Exactly

@Ross. David was provocative, but at least I can understand what he is saying. I'm afraid I don't follow you. What is your point?

Well first of all there is nothing older than Lex Talonis; not that we follow Lex Talonis. There is nothing measured or proportional in the responses that ensue. What is really happening dates to the more modern Roman era: bread and circuses. Unfortunately, the money changers ate all the bread on the way to the temple so we are left with the circuses. The media, the government and even the military are all tied up in wagging the dog. Meanwhile the rest of us are stuck eating our own dog food while living in Bleak House. And things are getting very bleak indeed.

So I took exception to the broad brush he painted with. As for us looking for heads to roll or pointing fingers, that is all circus too. It's sickening really. Really.
