Finch the insomniac-
On the same token, i must add that i am quite surprised on how many people support the juvinile death penalty, especcialy in the great plains. I say wait untill their 18... a few years isnt a big deal...
The problem is, i cant see the problem of muslums hating america dieing down anytime soon. Many terrorists are very young and many young people are aspiering to become one, but have not yet reached age. With so many children being brought up these days in this brew of anti-american ism in the middle east i dont see why those feelings would fade as they reach adulthood. predujuces are often learned young. Ind i have little doubt that they would teach their childern as well. I think we should also be looking at the long term solution and to finding a way to diffuse this animosity long-term. What were doing now isnt helping them hate us any less - us going into mosques and things (even if theres wepon catches inside) violates their religon, and that is seen as a grave insult.
I beleive that the only thing that will solve muslum animosty twards america is time- and lots of it, without doing things that would bring up memories of the past. As i seem to recall, even now many chinese dislike japan for and because of what they did in ww2
Wounds like these need lots of time to heal- i beleive that vetrens would keep those events and retell and relive them (war stories fighting the americans, anyone?) untill that generation leaves this earth- no one will ever forget, but the wounds will heal. It might take a few generations, but someday, this wont be a problem.
