Your reply is appreciated. Scorn and sarcasm can be needed weapons when the world goes awry.

Its helps the discussion if you are mature in your responses.

Excuse my distaste and the need to express it. Logic escapes me in this instance. To demand a "mature response' in this moment seems to be a call for an unwillngness of feeling and an analytic view of a sickening turn of events.

Situation: Mass murderer given clemency; Political big wigs do deals over dead bodies.

How much maturity is displayed by that? And how much cold-eyed logic should meet such a display?

And finally:

How maturely will folks respond if this fine Libyan fellow, convicted of the murders of 270 souls but now welcomed back home in Libya as a conquering hero (despite Gordon Brown's personal correspndence to his "Dear Muammar" where he pleads with the co-conspirator Gaddaffi that "when we met [there] I stressed that, should the Scottish executive decide that Megrahi can return to Libya, this should be a purely private family occasion" rather than a public celebration"), isn't dead and buried within three months, as surmised by the Scottish Authority in Charge?

Do the Scots then take him back?
