I'm not a lawyer. I do not work for the Justice Department. I don't live in New York. So, what am I to think?
How can a terrorist trial be held anywhere in this country without it having a profound effect on my life?
How can I bare the idea of someone, somewhere, standing before the bar of justice without my opinion being considered.
How can I consider myself a "Real American" if I am not fully loaded with brimming gobs of Ill-informed, half-formed, or spoon fed opinion. It's my duty, after all, to have a useless opinion on absolutely everything!!
I can get my opinion, fully formed as an outraged question from any source that used to provide actual information, in the belief that I could form my own opinion. No longer. I can't be trusted to form the right opinion.
And just, exactly, is the right opinion?
Why, I should tremble and cringe at the mere possibility that the Constitution, the Rule of Law, and the best, if frequently flawed, court system in the world will be charged with its legal responsibility. If I live in New York I should be prepared to re-experience 9/11 - and if I find that difficult, I will be exposed to hours of reminders.
If I live elsewhere, I should be prepared to feel a renewed rush of admiration for Rudy Guilliany.
I should be prepared to absolve the Bush Administration for all of its evil disregard for American history and law, and feel once again the warm, safe feeling that they marketed for 8 years.
I should recognize the total failure of all Democrats to "keep us safe", and the value of all Republicans when it comes to protecting me from everything I don't like, or approve of, or just think is rude.
Ah! There!! Now I have an opinion. Force fed by all media still bamboozled by their own failures during the Bush Era to question, probe, and disagree with the "honorable efforts to protect me".
Bringing terrorists to America for trial is the absolutely worst idea any government has ever had. They will escape!! They will use this trial as a forum to sell their evil ideology!! They will scare me all over again!!
America just can't handle this!!
Ask anyone...
