fraction of Singapore with 8 tons of explosives.
no, they had arms hidden away from WW2, went hiding in the
jungle and shot up everything that was white and moved. took over a
few police stations and killed everyone in there, shot up a
governor's car and killed him and his driver, threatened and
probably tortured jungle farmers to give them provisions and had
they enough explosives, would've gladly blew up a few buildings and
bridges to add to their credit...
and your point is?
These mfs had the intentions to kill, so why should we allow
them to live at all? JI's plans to sabotage our water pipe lines
and water work plants are fucking serious. If the water pipes are
damaged or destroyed, Malaysia will surely use this opportunity to
blackmail us.
you are assuming that the malaysians would think that the enemy
of their adversary is their friend... they have more to fear from
islamic radicals than us. u think these radicals think that
moderate UMNO is fit to rule over them? get real...
blowing up water pipes will have complications indeed, and they may
take the opportunity to increase the price as a pre-condition to
continuation of supply since the act was perpetuated by a third
party and not the cause of aggression on their part.
such a situation would be troublesome, but not fatal since we can't
pin the attack on them and they certainly will not take credit for
the attack... the treaties will still stand and it is certainly
possible to resolve it without resorting to arms.
2 years are too short to be forgotten, besides these bastards
had committed capital crimes, death is what they deserve.
i keep saying. u will breed more maniacs like them if u take an
extreme stand and polarize society as a result!!!
these are deluded, idealistic individuals whose greatest aim in
life is to achieve their aims or to die trying in the process and
go to heaven. the rule of law has to run its course. if home
affairs decides to press charges, sedition and treason are crimes
punishable by death.
but the important thing is that the process has to be unfolded for
them, not hurled at them.
Besides, i don't care if their families have to live lifes like
dogs.
and i wonder what they were intending for your
family if they had managed to pull this off...
unless they were directly involved in the crime, i do not think
they should be punished just because of association with the
suspect.
u accuse them of planning to perpetuate acts of barbarism and
crimes against humanity. pray tell: what does it make u when u
intend to hang them and penalize their families?
in this war against terrorism, the best thing anyone can do to
fight it is to not sink to the level of the enemy we are fighting
and become terrorists of the opposing cause ourselves.
