June 11, 2001 was a terrible display of this country's inability to forgive. The man below was the first federal prisoner to be executed in almost 40 years by what is suppossed to be the most civilized country in the world. It's a tragedy. This country should be ashamed of itself. Is the world a better place because Timothy McVeigh is no longer here? What did killing Timothy McVeigh accomplish? What did any execution accomplish? I hope this man and all the other men and women who have been executed are in a world where such a tragedy never happens. |

June 11, 2008 marks 7 years since Timothy McVeigh's execution. No matter how terrible the crime, may we never forget how terrible the execution of another human is. |
