Bin Laden's activities call for strange torture

Now that America is at war, we have to remember what this country is all about. We, Americans, are not terrorists and we do not enter the practice of revenge as terrorists. We are a civilized nation that responds to actions taken against us. We do not discriminate against people of different religions or ethnic backgrounds because we are of the very same backgrounds. And to act against them out of anger would make us mad-style hypocrites. The point I am going to get to is how we should deal with Osama bin Laden. He is a man of extreme hate and anger against people of the very same mindset as his own, people of capitalism. He himself inherited over $250 million, and I'm sure that didn't come from trading sheep and camels. That is now used to fund his terrorist acts. We will find him and destroy the hate that he and his followers stand for and we will bring him to justice. What I would like to propose is a non-violent means of torture that no man in his right or wrong mind could bear. I think that he should be captured and be forced to watch "Clockwork Orange"-style Bob Rohrman commercials and Kathy Lee Gifford Christmas specials on repeat. This is more than a human could possibly withstand, detouring future terrorists from acting. The free world will not stand for these acts, and the people that cause them will be killed by weapons that will hit them without them even knowing they were there. Watch out, here we come. No! We already have. I speak for all Purdue students when I say, "I am an American." Bob and Kathy are waiting, don't mess with us. You're goin' down, buster.
