Dark Star

Liberals just do NOT understand the enemy. Here is a prime example:

Judge Ralph Kohlmann warned Mohammed he faces the death penalty if convicted of organizing the attacks on America. But the accused mastermind of the terrorist attacks said he can't accept U.S. lawyers — only Islamic "Sharia" law — and would welcome being executed.

"This is what I wish, to be a martyr for a long time," Mohammed said. "I will, God willing, have this, by you."

Ramzi Binalshibh, the alleged main intermediary between the 19 hijackers and al-Qaida leaders, responded similarly: "If this martyrdom happens today, I welcome it. God is great. God is great. God is great."

One of the civilian attorneys he spurned, David Nevin, told The Associated Press he would try to meet with Mohammed to "hear him out and see if we can give him information that is helpful."

Asked how any attorney can defend a man who wants the death penalty, the Boise, Idaho, lawyer said: "It's a tricky matter. I don't have a good answer for you."

It just doesn't compute with them that this man wants to die for his religion. Especially after they have tried and tried to reason with him.

While Conservatives might not "get" it, they certainly understand it. These are the same type of extremists we have ruling Iran (albeit Shia in that case). Surely we could send some smart Liberals over there to talk to them too? They've had a lot of success in Guantanamo.

What's really throwing them off, I bet, is the fact they have these guys completely isolated and removed from the Arab cultures they grew up in, pull them aside and can talk to them all they want, and they don't even want their help at trial.

It blows the Liberal mind. The sad part is, they will still figure a way to make this America's fault.
