Well Yanks,
now you know what it feels like!
We British had to put up with it, when you let IRA bombers stroll around free for years over there in the States after blowing up large numbers of innocent people in discos and bars etc. here in Britain. You even gave the IRA money and eagerly supported their bombing campaign, and we had to resign ourselves to all of this.
More recently, you sent some creepy, slimey mush over here to negotiate with Tony Blair's crap goverment to let the few bombers who were brought to justice in Britain, walk free.
He gave in to you, and they did!
Now it's your turn. I personally believe all terminally ill prisoners should always be released - not just the infamous ones. The right decision was made today.
We are supposed to be Christians, after all.
And, while we were all horrified over 911 and the the Twin Towers falling down, there was a small element here of,
"Well now it's their turn, let's see how they like it."
Do you?
Not nice, is it?
The Merchant of Venice, Act 4, scene1.
Portia: "..The quality of mercy is not strain'd,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown;
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptred sway;
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
It is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's
When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew,
Though justice be thy plea, consider this,
That, in the course of justice, none of us
Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy;
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy. I have spoke thus much
To mitigate the justice of thy plea;
Which if thou follow, this strict court of Venice
Must needs give sentence 'gainst the merchant there."
by Willian Shakespeare.
