Smile now, you bastard!

AMROZI, the smiling assassin, was not so brave when faced with his own death. I’m not a proponent of capital punishment because of the possibility of errors or miscarriage of justice but in this case I have no qualms. Passionate murder, even cold blooded murder is one thing and generally has a limited number of victims but in the Bali case there 220 odd victims. A crime most horrible in it’s concept; it beggars belief and there simply isn’t enough superlatives to aptly describe the event. I’m OK with it and feel no burning desire to defend or accuse the Indonesian government of revenge or state sponsored murder Further, I don’t demand Rudd raise the point with the Indonesians; he intends to mention it at the UN and that’s a pointless exercise so let’s leave it at that and move on. At the very least, these three will never slaughter innocents again. Now let’s get Abu Bakar Bashir.
