Far worse than the 9/11 attack.

The British Petroleum oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is worse than all the damage caused by terrorists since 9/11. It's causing more havoc to the environment than if a terrorist had exploded several hydrogen bombs. The damage will be felt for decades. Maybe for generations. I'd characterize BP executives such as CEO Tony Hayward as equivalent to Osama bin Laden. Incompetent and uncaring fools. Idiots. Inadvertent environmental terrorists at the very least. They should be brought to justice. Put in prison for the rest of their lives. And BP should be put into receivership. Compelled to pay for the damages. Monetarily. Every penny that normally would go to BP shareholders as dividends should be paid instead to fishermen and businesses and property owners along the gulf coast. Eventually, BP should be put out of business and be declared Public Enemy No. 1. --Jim Broede
