Pretty much.
I think that you believe that your opinion is correct and mine is wrong. I also think that during the heat of this thread that the tone of your argument has been patronizing at best, insulting at worst. (Something I have tried to avoid.)
Even now when Khadr has confessed to the murder of the US soldier, you continue to plea his case. I have maintained from the begining that he is a terrorist (he is), he took up arms against this country (he did), he murdered a US soldier (now we know he did).
I have also stated that the majority of Canadians would prefer to keep him out of the country (I do believe that) and you disagreed with me. Well, there's a poll out in McLeans I believe that shows that 48% of Canadians feel that the gov't should do everything in their power to keep him out of the country period, another 12% feel that he should serve his sentence in Canada, and 39% feel that he should have been repatriated a long time ago.
So you see, my arguement is not wholely unsupported. In fact, quite the opposite.
You weep for Khadr because you think him a victim of George Bush's "War on Terror". You use him as a poster boy for how the policies of George Bush have somehow made a mockery of justice and the Canadian Constitution both at the same time. You don't seem to care about the circumstance of how this all came to be, or the fact that a US soldier was killed by him, or that Khadr was building and planting roadside bombs to kill Nato Soldiers. You only see him as some symbol against the "Tory Fascists" (which is laugable because it was the Liberals who agreed to join NATO in Afghanistan, and the Liberals did nothing to repatriate Omar Khadr).
Anyway, with Khadr's confession, so goes your arguement.
When he's out of the clink in however many years you can invite him to live with you. (I'm pretty sure you won't though.)
