Why deny them the right to lynch him? I'm sure
some people would really enjoy tearing him into
little tiny pieces.
What you don't seem to realize is that's what
motivates the *terrorists*. Moussaoui has said
he wanted to kill Americans because America had
killed Muslims. Revenge only motivates more
revenge. It's a vicious circle.

No, better they learn not to feel frustrated.
Better they learn to feel compassion for people
who are driven by such emotions to kill other
people. Feel compassion for them, and lock them
up so they can't fulfill their compulsions.
