Should the Bali bombers be put to death?

Should the Bali bombers be put to death?

This really shouldn't be a simple issue to resolve, but many Australians, including our elected leaders, seem quick to bang on about their support for the death penalty in places like Indonesia when the situation suits them.

John Howard, the so-called Christian, is screaming for the blood of the bombers who caused the deaths of numerous Australians and even more Balinese/Indonesians. He also has the arrogance to criticise politicians with the moral fibre to disagree with the atrocious state sanctioned murder practiced by most of our allies and our neighbours.

Make up your mind you dickhead. Grow some real balls and bring the death penalty back to Australia, and face the consequences, or shut the fuck up.

Nice!
Good use of 'colourful language'.
Of course you're right. You either support capital punishment or you don't. You can't 'pick and choose' - supporting popular decisions, and declaring the unpopular ones to be 'Un-Christian' or some such crap.
Then again, if someone was to re-introduce capital punishment, it would be John Howard, it characterises his term as PM. During his reign, Australia has become more petty, mean of spirit, xenophobic, and spiteful, than any period in the last 50 years. It takes that 'A Current Affair'/'Today Tonight' sense of social justice to support the Death Penalty.

Don't worry. Poor old John is going into 'involuntary retirement' at the end of the year. I can't see him winning this election, even with one of his 'children of mass destruction' scare campaigns. Before John goes, I'd like to see Maxine take his seat from him, his electorate needs to redeem themselves
... and I want to see the second-longest serving PM humiliated by being 'excused' from parliament, in favour of a woman - she may not be able to be a preacher in the church he worships at, but she can take the bigoted fool's job (as a member)
