I think we all agree that terrorists are scumbags who should be locked away forever, the difference is i happen to think there should be some method to distinguish between a terrorist and a non-terrorist , and funnily enough , there is this thing called law and the legal system designed specifically for this purpose, many people including international laws agree we should use it. If you don't use the law to convict someone , how do you know they are really a terrorist ? Should we just trust the government ? If this is a better way to deal with criminals , why do we have a legal system at all , shouldn't we just trust the government 100% and lockup everyone for whatever they say and for however long they say ?
is that a question or a comment ? i'm not sure i follow.. if we want to stop wars we should go back to some previous point where there was wars ? not sure how that helps , there has always been wars, not sure what either have to do with the topic ..
The way to stop wars is to stop killing people.

vendzilla does not want to be questioned. he lives in a world of black and white where his truth is gods truth. like you said, many in gitmo are only suspected of terrorist connections, never actually did anything or charged with anything. there is a reason why they keep it off US land..they don't comply with the laws. i guess vendzilla not only supports the locking up of people for years without being charged for a single crime, being beaten or worse. in vendzilla's mind, everyone in gitmo is a terrorist who should be killed. it shows how little he knows.
