The World Court is at it again. They now want the U.S. to stop executing foreigners.
It is my opinion, that some of the country's that oppose capital punishment are very hypocritical. For example, in latin america, many of the governments ( especially those with religious influences ) are opposed to the government using capital punishment. However, many of the common people on the street, have no problem with killing their wife, or their kids or their cousins or their neighbors or anybody else. And in some cases the deaths are quite violent using techniques like beheading, for example. I believe we need to find the bad people in the world and do everything we possibly can to prevent them from hurting people and we need to do it in a cost effective manner. You can't rehabilitate a cannibal or a person who enjoys mutilating someone. But you can stop them from doing it again. In addition to that, if people are come to the U.S. to seek a better life, then they should follow the laws. I believe their punishment should be the maximum allowable by law. I don't believe they should be deported as they will be able to easily disappear into society again. I do recognize that our judicial system can wrongfully convict someone and that the poor immigrant does not have adequate representation. So I can see a need to verify their verdict before the execution. David Locklear
