The truly reformed will request justice in proportion to their crime, not mercy. Death is the appropriate recompense in this case.

Pre-emptive War: e.g. Should we nuke Tehran?
JamesWR replied to Brandon's topic in Terrorism and Islamic Fundamentalism
A tactical nuclear strike may be our only option to stop this rouge nation from acquiring nuclear weapons and fulfilling the twisted Islamic prophecy (fairytale) of Armageddon and visions of annihilating Israel. http://www.aina.org/news/20060901130216.htm I would hope it would be a last resort to stop proliferation of nuclear weapons by mystics and not an act of vengeance. "The threat of sudden destruction, of unpredictable retaliation for unnamed offenses, is a much more potent means of enslavement than explicit dictatorial laws. It demands more than mere obedience; it leaves men no policy save one: to please the authorities; to please—blindly, uncritically, without standards or principles; to please—in any issue, matter or circumstance, for fear of an unknowable, unprovable vengeance."
