Let's stir up some more fun.
Talibanist John Walker.
Let me save a lot of you a great deal
of finger pain from banging on your
computer keypad and type your
position for you -
Poor John, he is simply a victim of
an oppressive government bent on
destroying countries weaker than ours.
But he at least chose not to go along
with "my government, right or wrong."
Better a traitor to his country than
blindly agreeing with the officials he
freely voted to represent him in his
democratic government.
Poor John, he is the victim of being in
the wrong place at the wrong time
and should be granted a trial by jury
even though he's committed treason
as defined by the Constitution -
treason consisting of "levying war
against" the United States, "adhering"
to America's enemies or giving them
"aid and comfort."
Poor John, he should have his wounds
healed by our superior medical
treatments (at our cost), be sent back
to the U.S. to teach tolerance to all
our young, impressionable school-age
children so that we can raise more
liberal-minded adults who will stop all
this American injustice and oppression
in third world countries.
Poor John, when he does get his trial,
he can't possibly afford the kind of
legal counsel that other criminals like
O.J. Simpson could when they wanted to
"beat the rap." So all of us
liberal-minded folks should take up
a collection for him.
