Then take your own advice with respect to your own laws.
Otherwise we may as well burn them.

Cynapse – why on God’s Green Earth would you want this criminal returned? He chose his own destiny by joining the terrorists – didn’t your Mom and Dad ever tell you that you make your own bed in life and you have to lie in the bed after you have made it? It is true, even if it is sometimes ‘inconvient’.

And the decision was to send him back here. So that little bit of “nonsense” is what you and any other Canadian has to deal with.

Cynapse says “One thing you can’t do is suddenly decide that Khadr, Olson or any one else is no longer a part of your country when it gets too inconvenient.”

Oh really? My guess would be that the vast majority of Canadians would disagree with you on that little bit of nonsense. Like any other “Canadian” (there is a definition that has gone to hell in a handbasket), Khadr is subject to the laws of other countries when he is outside the bounds of Canada. The Charter of Rights does not follow him around the world. He either gets tried in the US or Afghanistan. Preferably Afghanistan.

Jema:

You don’t have to pay – you could just let him run free and do what he will.
Everything has a cost.
One thing you can’t do is suddenly decide that Khadr, Olson or any one else is no longer a part of your country when it gets too inconvenient.

Khadr should go to trial in Afghanistan where he killed and terrorized people.

We would have to pay for his ‘keep’, Cynapse. Do you know how much that creature Clifford Olson costs the taxpayers? Kadar is not a citizen of ‘my Canada’; he is a murderer.

I don’t see why we can’t take him back, declare him mentally unfit and hold him for eternity with no visitors.

Alternatively, how about sending him to military prison? There is a lot we can do, truth be told. Maybe it’s a good excuse to toughen some laws for violent offenders.

If this is upheld then maybe those hyphenated Canadians who live in places like Lebanon can stay there when trouble arises. Then we won’t feel obliged to expend hundreds of millions of dollars on a rescue mission only to have them return when things quiet down.

No legal duty and not for humanitarian reasons either. He made his choice. If he is old enough to throw hand grenades and kill somebody then he’s old enough to face the consequences.
