QUOTE
1: Any
other punishment devalues the crime and simply does not give the victim the
respect that he/she deserves. The state should execute a murderer not because
it holds life in low regard, but precisely because it holds the lives of those
that the murderer dispatched in such high regard. Capital punishment is pro and
not anti-life.

2: Could Blair kindly tell us why he endorsed the dropping of four
1000kg bombs on a Baghdad restaurant where Saddam Hussein was thought to be
dining, but why he would not support the execution of the ex-Iraqi leader if he
were found guilty of capital crimes in a court of law? [Hypocrisy and death
