51% of Americans disagree with you...

Are there rules about cutting heads off? If so, you should tell the terrorist about it cause thye are not listening....

I agree, but it is not that simple. As you might know some countries simply refuse any international courts. Then there is the UN security council with its veto power. That's why basically all those conventions and treaties on this and that are just theory, unfortunately.

But what they demand is correct, they don't say, Bush or ISIS people should be tortured, but tried.

No, the bottom line is that UN will not do anything because punish ONE for war crime, they are obligated to punish them all. UN will never do it. This is all for show.

Looking for war crime? How about Hama, Isis.... etc, etc, etc, etc.

When you put it as though 40m were a lot, then I will put that sum in perspective...

Terrorism does not only include cutting people's heads off, far from it. Ask your own government, even Occupy and Greenpeace members are on terrorist lists... Killing innocents people with drones is terrorism, invading other countries based on lies and fabricated evidence is terrorism...

Yes, I want all people to have the same knowledge. I am against terrorism on either side.

Again, cutting off heads is just one of many terrorist acts. People make such a fuss about it because the victims are Westerners and because it is spectacular. But really, if we were not such cold-blooded monsters in the West, we would realize that the mothers and children torn into pieces by drones in Afghanistan etc. are not any better off than a headless American.

Which would not be any problem, they could easily do that. But it doesn't happen because the UN is not objective, it is a battlefield where there is corruption and all kinds of deals. It is a toothless tiger. The only times it actually does something is in those rare cases when there is no objection from any side or where it is a small country which doesn't have the money and lobby in the UN to defend itself.

There are books on how to manipulate UN opinion and decision-making, it is no secret.

No. The people have spoken.

I don't support either act. People suspected of crimes should be tried and either convicted or set free, regardless of nationality. I trust, since you feel Americans suspected of terrorist acts should receive due process, you believe the people kidnaped and tortured by the Bush Administration should as well.
Since when are non-citizens guaranteed a right to that? They're not. Otherwise the U.S. Border Patrol wouldn't be able to turn any foreigner back once they're on U.S. soil. They'd all have to have a trial to determine whether they're guilty of illegal entry before they're turned away.

I don't know any Democrat that thinks the way you describe.
So why haven't Democrats called for Obama's impeachment for violating American citizens' right to due process, and summarily killing them at whim?

Obama isn't "torturing" American citizens without due process. He's KILLING them without due process. BIG difference.

Not big enough to mean you aren't a hypocrite.
