The death penalty is an interesting subject in this case. These terrorists are too willing to die for their cause. Maybe a life in the worst prison in the world would do.

You're no coward. A true coward would run from any threat, no matter who was threatened.

: I think all free and democratic nations share your views,

I don't think it's so much a lust for power as much as a lust for vengeance. THAT'S what scares me. People can be blinded by hate (no, I'm not quoting Star Wars). I want to see those responsible pay too, but when that happens, I hope that the options of where to continue after that are seriously weighed and not by mad justice.
