And remember BEFORE he was shot he was already riddled with shrapnel.It's a very sad story.Everyone from the Taliban to the Guantanamo guards portray him as a decent kid pathetically trying to please older father figures. His own father was a maniac fanatic and terrorist who led his entire family to disaster. Omar never had a choice like most child soldiers.<BR/>That's why I think his case should be a no-brainer. I can't believe it turned into a partisan issue. The fact that after all of that he remains a young guy who prefers Disney comics to the Koran is frankly amazing. Whatever anyone thinks of his twisted family Omar should be brought back to the land where he was born. I don't care whether you're a right-winger or a left-winger it's the only right and CANADIAN thing to do.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-29660795172805633082008-08-08T11:01:00.000-04:002008-08-08T11:01:00.000-04:00In all seriousness though, I am appalled at what i...In all seriousness though, I am appalled at what is being heaped on Omar Khadr. In the relentless societal fear-frenzy that has accompanied the aftermath of 9/11 it is far to easy to tag Khadr as the "Author of his own misfortune" when attempting to understand how and why this boy found himself on a battlefield in Afghanistan. It is a disingenuous label that was once applied to one <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Marshall" REL="nofollow">Donald Marshall, Jr.</A> here in Nova Scotia when that young Mi'kmaq was wrongfully convicted of murder and subsequently spent 12 years of his life in prison back in the 70s. Fair and just jurisprudence must find Omar Khadr not guilty as it eventually found the same verdict with Donald Marshall. Uncovering this 'miscarriage of justice' that Omar Khadr has most assuredly endured is our best defence in protecting our so very fragile democracy.Omarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12058734544373976550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-36774220016596914412008-08-07T18:55:00.000-04:002008-08-07T18:55:00.000-04:00I live in suburban Maryland, and here we have a lo...I live in suburban Maryland, and here we have a lot of Mexicans.
