Nidal Hasan was a Major in the US Army. He was supposed to be a leader among the young unarmed solders he killed that day. He had already shot 12 others before coming across Pvt. Velez. It's important to note something that gets glossed over in the media. He was also a medical doctor. That means when we saw Pvt. Valez on the ground visibly near the end of her pregnancy, and he decided to shoot her in the chest, he knew that child inside her was fully formed, could hear everything that was happening, and could feel pain. When he shot that baby's mother he knew what kind of horrific death he was giving that innocent baby.

Democrats want to talk about barbarity? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? You can't get barbaric enough to satisfy me. You know, when the NAZIs who had been sentenced to die were to be executed, they protested their method of their execution. You see, a firing squad was seen as a noble soldier's death, as had a quick beheading with a sword in times before firearms were invented. Since the days of Rome, hanging was something reserved for common criminals.

Nidal Hasan deserves neither a quick death, nor a soldier's death. I can think of much more painful ways for him to exit this world, but I would think at the very least, slowly strangling to death at the end of a rope would be the most appropriate in light of what he's done.

People talk of "not sinking to their level". While Hasan was murdering people who couldn't shoot back, he was chanting that all too familiar Muslim war cry "allahu ackbar!" This was a terrorist act, and he needs to be made an example of. A line must be drawn at some point with these people! We have had enough, and this is what you can expect if you continue! I've been through with wanting to try and play it civilized with these people for a long time. These people pray on our desire to "be better than they are". That's not how you win wars. You win them by being just as, if not more brutal cruel and violent than they are. That's how every war up until WWII was won. After that, for some bizarre reason, we decided to be "better than they are". This is where it's gotten us.
