Subject: RE: bush sends a message to terrorists
Hi Joe:
Endorcement of terrorisim happens when there is unequal prosicution of violent criminals - especially when there is a politic behind the violence. To give an example, when Regan was in office a young fellow named ... damn it will come to me before the end of the post, I used to speak with him often, he was a reckless young fellow with strong humanist beliefs, who did some things that I would say were wrong and unwise, even though they were driven by real careing about his fellow humans. Well one day he was arrested for having dynamite, and the state conviced a jury that he was planing to blow up the capitol, though he had taken no actions towards that, or had any written plans, or had said to anyone that he intended to do that... ah, Tim Blunk is his name. He was given 75 years in jail, no bombs went off, 75 years in jail. On the other hand, Orlando Bosh, who blew up a cuban aircraft, was never charged, let go on bail whenever he was arested, even after he was caught driving around Miami with a torpedo on a boat trailer, on his way to blow up a russian ship in our harbor. Bombers who have actualy blown up clinics have been given as little as under a year in jail. What we need to make women and doctors safe is an AJ who will make the protection of colinics a priority. The message bush sends is, this is not a proiorty.
Cheers,
Larry
