What's the difference between me and you?

This article came up on Yahoo! and it reminded me of one of the big differences between Westerners and the Islamic fundamentalist nations that sponsor and support terrorism.

Nichols, 49, is serving life sentences without parole for separate convictions in state and federal courts for his role in the bombings. Juries in 1997's federal trial and the state trial this June deadlocked over whether he should be sentenced to death.

First of all, if a nation like pre-war Afghanistan had found a terrorist in their midst that bombed an American building, they'd be applauded. We catch them and punish them.

The other difference is that Nichols assisted in the killing of 168 Americans and we have juries "deadlocked over whether he should be sentenced to death." If someone in Iraq decided to merely speak out against Saddam, he would have been fragged then and there.

Just a thought. Now, I have no ill-feelings toward Muslims. I'm not a racist, and I'm not trying to make a broad generalization. This isn't about the so-called "little people." It's about the many Islamofacist dictators who are exploiting their beliefs and blaming the West for all of their own mistakes, spawning anti-American sentiment in the process.
