I am disgusted at my government. I am dismayed at their stance and I am gob smacked by their ability to show compassion to criminals.
Had 57 year old Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi been convicted of causing the death of others in his home Lybia, he would not have lived to see himself dying of cancer. He didn't, however, he killed westerners, and we do not condemn the guilty to death but to a life of 3 square meals; doctors at your beck and call; television and the internet.
Now, he has been given 3 months to live and the SNP say? "higher powers than us will deal with him now". Gee thanks! Why not, I mean, he's going to die anyway, so why not, have dropped him from the aeroplane 500 feet above his home town, together with his luggage? Not only would he have the pennance of knowing how his victims felt but his family would know the destruction that even small objects falling from the sky can reap on a built up area.
But no, our government let him go. And the Lybian reaction? Dancing in the streets, rejoicing that their solier had returned. Do they show remorse for the carnage they gifted Scotland and America in the Christmas of 1988? Not in the least. Yet the British and Scottish governments want to be friends with them.
