I bet if one of his victims during that senssless rampage was your child you’d know what the best solution is.
I find it hard to have compassion for people who show no compassion for others. I REALLY find it hard when they take the life of innocent people. That’s just not acceptable. I’m willing to grant his wish for death.
true courage is not about knowing when to take a life, but when to spare one.
I will reply to your staement with a quote from Lord of the Rings....perhaps it gives you a better look at where I am coming from.

My 2 cents : Execute all those who kill. Period.
But Nidal was American. So treat him as American law would treat any other mass shooter. Just don't execute some while excusing others.
If America attends to mass shooters as mental patients, then treat Nidal in the same way.

Our country's policy has been not to negotiate with terrorists. There's a difference between negotiating for the release of prisoners from a defeated enemy (such as Japan after WW2) and negotiating with terrorists. The latter shouldn't be expected.
And the reason why they believe every word,,is because they know that there country,, will move heaven and earth, and ,will bring them home,,from said enemy.,,dead or alive.
Exactly.
but as someone once said,, "its your job too make sure the other guy dies for his country,",
We (our leaders) should do everything they can to ensure the safe return of our troops. There will always be troops ready, willing and able to rescue our captured but those orders don't always come. I know a little bit about this because I served in Nasiriyah with 2/8 and we assisted in getting back Jessica Lynch. Many are not so lucky...and she was VERY luck because Nasiriyah was hell on earth.
but i say, if there is one amounst you who has gone missing,, will the good commander, do all in his or her power too bring home any lost Soldiers?

Here's the question. Is a person, like that, worth 80 to 120 thousand a year of tax payer money?
That's what it will cost, every year, to keep that man in jail, properly fed and provided all the wonderful benefits of the prison system, when you're in 'protective' custody, which he would no doubt be in.
IMO it's not worth it. There are some things, that deserve death. Mass murder is one of them.
