what I think is interesting about all this is the clash between Americans and the UK.

Many of the UK (according to the media reporting) are actually in support of this, out of a kind of spirit of forgiveness whereas all the Americans (and I mean ALL of em!) are fire and brimbstone mad about this shit, they want 'justice' (of course, by which they mean vengeance)

America is outraged that the UK could have any kind of compassion, but I think it is interesting that the family of the victims of the UK are being extremely altruistic and forgiving about this incident, and even after 20 years the Americans can't let it go.. this is not to disrespect any of the families, just an observation. I see the families in the UK giving interviews saying they agree with the decision, and I see families in the US ready to kill somebody in the UK over this shit..
alas alas, where is all the love america?

We supposedly got our sense of 'law' and 'justice' from our English roots and Anglo-Saxon tradition so why the clash here?
