In a classic example of terrorist modus operandi, a defense attorney was kidnapped and executed with two bullets to the head in an effort to scare the government holding a trial sanctioned by 10 million voters.

That wasn't just and fair to the man's wife and children, now left alone.

That doesn't show respect for the rights millions of people whom this man has harmed in the most painful ways.

That doesn't show respect for the self-evident human right of freedom from tyranny, and the fair and equal dissemination of justice at the hands of the people.

It doesn't respect any people who proclaim themselves free. It doesn’t respect you and your right to live.

They continue to proclaim they have the authority from God to level our largest cities, if only God gives them the tools.

They refuse to lay down their claim to take our blood indiscriminately, or allies in arms with people who believe this.

We will fight them violently: there is no choice when someone is always planning and trying to take your life. They claim the whole Middle East as their nation's land.

Can we fight them where they are not? Where should the war on terror be fought?
