The best Way to Deal with Terrorists
Is it really necessary to torture or make people suffer just to get stuff that we need from them? After reading “The Case for Torture” by Dr. Michael Levin, I disagree with torturing terrorists to gain information. I am totally against with torture or punish terrorists because first, most terrorists are forced to act in the way they do, they have no power over their actions. Secondly, it is possible to transform the bad feelings inside them to a good one, I believe everyone deserves a second chance. Finally, I believe only God has the power to do the right justice to those terrorists. So who are we to judge?
My first reason why I believe terrorists do not deserve to be tortured is that they might be forced into it. They could be a part of a hierarchy that has control over them. If they do not do what their master says, they too could be beheaded or bombed. Terrorists are under a lot of pressure too when they have to bomb our country and others because one little mistake and they are goners. They are just trying to save their skins. Michael Levin said, “How can we tell 300,100, or 10 people who never asked to be put in danger, “I’m sorry, you’ll have to die in agony, we just couldn’t bring ourselves to…” (Levin 523)”. These lines are unconstitutional because if he is saying “we just couldn’t bring ourselves to…” then it seems clear that they do not have it in their heart to punish terrorists for assassinating innocent people. Why fight fire with fire? When you fight fire with fire, you will get burned. Why punish terrorists for doing something when other people will do the same thing in turn to them back? This does not reprimand anything. The following reason why I am against torturing terrorists is that sometimes people cannot judge others by bad things that they are doing today because it is possible to change it to a good one tomorrow. Everyone deserves a second chance. They still should get the opportunity to make things right and see that they were totally wrong on what they did. They can still redeem themselves. Take Bin Laden, for instance. Yes, he bombed Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 and yes, he bombed the Twin Towers in 9/11 but he deserves to redemption (www.history.com/). “Redemption is an act of redeeming or atoning for a fault or mistake, or the state of being redeemed (dictionary.reference.com/)”. My final perspective to back up my point of view is that I know terrorism is wrong, but they do not deserve to be …show more content…
My reasons include God has the power to punish who he knows deserves it, everyone even killers deserve a second chance to redeem themselves and turn their life around, and finally that the terrorists might be forced into it. If the terrorists are really doing something wrong, then they would have been defeated when they started. Only God can truly decide what is right and what is wrong. Why should we put someone else’s life at risk or even death just because someone did the same thing first? Like I said, why fight fire with fire? “Isn’t there a danger of error and abuse? We won’t turn into Them (Levin 524)”? Think about this statement next time you are wondering if terrorists deserve punishment in
