Mr. Bush, give justice a chance and Libya some space

No, this is neither about Paris Hilton nor about Gonzales. Oops, the list is long. Then there is the black kid from Georgia who was in prison for stuff that he is not to be locked up for. Then there is the men who have been unjustly locked up. Then there are, is..... Well, before I am misquoted, let me say emphatically and unequivocally that every cell in my body opposes the death penalty for whatever reason. I am Catholic. There you have it!

I am appalled from learning that Bush called on Libya to free nurses that were sentenced by a court of law. Is this not the democracy that they have been preaching all along, that governments should not interfere with the judiciary? What makes el Presidente an exception? Or was it just a non-committal diplomatic statement when Bush said: "We strongly support the release of the Bulgarian nurses in Libya - it's a high priority for our country. "Our hearts also go out to the children that have been infected by HIV and Aids," he said.

While I am opposed to the possibility of Libya killing these nurses or making them a bargaining chip, IF they are innocent, it is equally appalling for Bush to go out there to interfere with Libya's justice system. If it is true that these nurses indeed killed innocent children, it is a great injustice to humanity for the US and EU to deny Libya its sovereign right to prosecute these people. That said, killing these people will not bring back the children! In fact, I am disgusted by the notion that they would ask these people to pay compensation to the families as if to say you can kill Africans as long as you can pay the right price. What a shame! But, then again, I understand that there may be no other option. But still, it is immoral to equate a life stolen with a dollar or a pound.

It scares me to imagine that some of these so called volunteers who go to Africa to save people may have sinister and dreadful motives. How on earth can people live with themselves after injecting children with the HIV virus? Speaking of HIV/ AIDS, I have been reading some disturbing articles about the whole issue of AIDS. Do not take my word for it, but I am not so sure what to believe anymore sometimes, especially with the whole drug industry corporations being so driven by money and greed.

With all the killing, the lying and injustice of humanity, I wonder what God will do to set us free from the burden of ignorance and sin. Speaking of God, I heard somebody say that God may be in some prison. Reason? Well, when people are locked up, including Paris Hilton, they always seem to find God! He must be in there somewhere.
