Eco-Terrorism
[Read the article: Is Briana Waters a terrorist?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obviously, burning an unoccupied building does not rise to the same level of moral reprehensibility as flying a plane into a building. Nevertheless, any arson is highly dangerous act that poses serious risks to innocent human lives. Indeed, even in unoccupied buildings, arson poses a serious risk of death or injury to those who come to fight the fires. Society cannot tolerate such activity whether it is done in the name of bin Laden or the environment.
I'm willing to let the Waters case work its way through the judicial system. To the extent that she was involved in or knowingly facilitated arson, she deserves severe punishment.

Convention: Democracy or Chaos?
[Read the article: Will the Democrats flop in Denver?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Unfortunately the modern political convention is little more than an extended commercial for the parties and their candidates. With no real decision making, there is little incentive for anyone to tune in. Accordingly, the networks have dramatically cut their coverage.
A well-run Democratic convention, deciding between Obama and Hillary, might reverse the tide of viewer apathy and be a big plus for the Democrats -- particularly when you consider that the GOP convention is going to be a monumental snoozer. On the other hand, if the Democratic Convention degenerates into acrimony and chaos, voters may just decide that a party that can't run its convention shouldn't run the country.
