The dictionary defines the story for us – evil, adjective: morally bad or wrong. Causing ruin, injury or pain. So now we know the true nature of anybody who had anything to do with the terrorist attacks on America. Now we know. So what do we do about it?

Well, we punish them, of course. And in this case, there will be few if any who raise questions about insanity, or disease, or trot out the litany of excuses we often use to defend many evil-doers in our society. America has become a nation of excuses – many of us look at heinous acts and apply our own rational standards to the perpetrators. Thus, a person like Andrea Yates who brutally murdered her five little kids has to be mentally ill and not responsible. Of course, she’s mentally ill. But not responsible? This is where that kind of thinking breaks down.

In the past the Moslem terrorists who have caused so much destruction and pain to so many innocent people could, in my opinion, be considered mentally ill. They believe their god is going to elevate them to paradise for executing innocent human beings. If that isn’t a mental illness, I don’t know what is.

But that doesn’t mean these monsters didn’t know what they were doing. They did. They knew they were killing blameless human beings just as Hitler, Stalin and the other psychopaths of history knew. And for this they have to be brought to justice. Just because a person has a damaged mind doesn’t mean we don’t punish them.

I have seen evil face to face. I sat down across from Joel Steinberg who brutally tortured and killed his little daughter. Steinberg denied everything to me but his dead eyes told the true story. His is in prison for life but more than one person has told me the man is sick and thus should be “treated.”

Evil cannot be “treated” – nor should it be. Evil has to be confronted and destroyed and it matters not why the evil is in play. Society has no obligation to try to rehabilitate evil. If a person commits acts that cause pain and destruction, that person must be dealt with harshly.

There are obviously varying degrees of evil but mass terror and murder is at the top of the list. The terrorists who struck America are modern-day SS men. They are no different than the concentration-camp butchers and any nation in the world that harbors them or condones their behavior should be ostracized whether they produce oil or not.

Some commentators have ascribed the motives of these terrorists as trying to “demoralize” America. I strongly disagree with that. These people simply wanted to kill and create mayhem. They know the United States is not going to change its tenets. They know nothing favorable to their perverted cause will be forthcoming.

This action was simply a mass assassination. And they used their god as an excuse. How repulsive is that? How mentally deranged is that? How evil is that? The world deserves to be rid of killers and those who bring misery to human beings. Society needs to see evil for what it is and adopt a “zero tolerance” policy. I could not care less why child killers and terrorists decide to do what they do. They must be eliminated or banished in chains for their lifetimes. That is the only “treatment.”
