Moussaoui's Hot Destination

Actually, Moussaoui's public defender makes a compelling argument for satisfying everybody directly involved in the case, except for a few pacifist family victims. The convict says he wants to die, and prosecutors want him to die. Let's hope the jury grants them both their wishes.

Sound unbecoming and unloving for a self-described born again Christian? It shouldn't, for God's justice brings Him just as much glory as the bestowal of His mercy:

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. (Psalm 19:9-10)

The Lord tests the righteous, but the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates. Upon the wicked He will rain coals, fire and brimstone and a burning wind; This shall be the portion of their cup. For the Lord is righteous, He loves righteousness, His countenance beholds the upright. (Psalm 11:5-7)

Some -- even many of my fellow Christians -- might say this fellow deserves a chance at rehabilitation and the mercy that God has offered every man. Well, I love a prison conversion story as much as the next repentant sinner, but in my non-divine judgment, Moussaoui should get no more than his (I hope short) time on death row to come to Jesus. His present temperament tells me that is not likely.

Then strap him in the chair, and off to hell he goes. The defiant bastard has earned it.
