http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2007/02/22/soldier-sentence.html Commentary: How meaningless! The soldiers should have been executed. But he will get out, probably in 15 years. The Iraqi teen and her family however, will still be dead.

    Should have lined them all up against the wall and shot them dead.

    I endorse Vigilante' Law
    and knowing the toll I would pay for breaking whichever law broken.

    Hypocrisy born of law is no excuse to break law... and yet law may be and is broken with impunity by the state's elected officials who take and break oaths we do not know.
    How dumb is that?

    Until we are a world at peace, this is another reason I suggest that the over 40 crowd be the ones deployed to fight wars. A 100 year sentence would be useless. 50 would suffice and it would save the country prison funds.

    I feel what we are doing to teenagers entering the armed forces is the worst kind of child abuse.

    Of course, if we really beleived the "the buck stops here", shouldn't we be indicting the country's leaders for the actions of their underlings?
