Well, Peg, evidently a jury of his peers found him guilty. Obviously, they could be wrong, but until otherwise proven wrong, I would assume that their judgement will stand. I'm not at all familiar with the case so I would not comment either way.

McGrath, I did not intend to imply that those in the U. S. who create the laws follow implicetly the rule of the majority. Often they do not. However, any politician in the U. S. who does not pay heed to the polls on a critical subject, had better have a alternative profession to fall back on.

Great Britian deals with terriorists like Timothy McVey in their own way, I suppose, however I cannot recall a similar act that took as many lives, occuring there in recent history. Am I wrong? If it did, what would you feel, McGrath, would be the appropriate punishment? What punishment, do you feel the majority of Brits would favor?
