Yup, that's retarded. Yer man should resign for making such a fucking stupid decision though.

i cant defend the decision as it was indeed pretty moronic... not as moronic as boycotting a nation like... but still pretty dumb.

its too christiany a decision for my liking :twisted:

urbanhippie

releasing him under compassionate grounds... strikes me as a bit pious... like the good lord will somehow begin blessing Scotland instead of America because of this mercy decision.

conversely the unchristiany thing to do would be if the US people, who signed the petition on the website, did actually boycott Scotland because of a single persons decision... not the decision of the public.

I suppose if a few Americans boycotted the Edinburgh Festival, the standard of the comedy might go up a bit.

Does not really come across as pious to me, but that's opinions for 'ya....could have been an inroad against all the hate between Christians and Muslims...a starting point maybe..but I think it done blowed up on all involved.

Who Princess

I think the boycotters might do better to visit Scotland and actually debate the topic with some Scots. I know that most of the people who were killed on Pan Am Flight 103 were U.S. citizens but Americans have a way of claiming ownership over EVERYTHING. I don't particularly like how Megrahi's release was handled, particularly as I learn more about the fact the he had an appeal pending that won't be heard now. It hasn't been very well publicized in this country but the investigation into the bombing seems to have been a bit sloppy. A lot of evidence that was not presented at his original trial would have been discussed at the appeal, which won't happen now. From what I understand, some of the victim's families in the U.K. don't even think Megrahi was guilty. I know nothing about that and I'm no conspiracy nut, I just think it's valuable to learn as much about terrorist organizations as possible (although 20 years after the fact probably isn't much use).

But the boycott idea is ridiculous. It's not as if most of the people raising the hue and cry were really planning to vacation in Scotland anyway. Or probably even drink a good Scotch.

And what do they really mean? I mean, stop eating 'Lorna Doone' cookies? Stop drinking Chivas, Glenfiddich and J&B scotch? And as for 'Boycotting Libya'... that's a fucking joke because we've been boycotting Libya since 1968. Who's planning a vacation to Libya?

It's a little hypocritical after hearing years of non-Americans on this board blaming Americans for Bush's and his administration's asinine actions. The main reason I remember is we voted Bush into office so we are to blame.

Al-Megrahi release is very upsetting to me because I know someone, just 21 years old, killed in the bombing. I don't understand it at all. Everyone who gets a lifetime sentence dies in prison one way or another. And then to have him come home to a hero's welcome is just another slap in the face.

But then it's not surprising to hear he was released for an oil deal. Oil makes people do stupid things.
