Thursday, Aug. 4: On al\u002DQaida\u003B de\u002Damalgamating Ottawa\u003B Shopify\u0027s admission. You can write to us too, at letters@ottawcitizen.com

One of the most notable differences between terrorist organizations and the law-enforcement agencies of countries that respect the rule of law is the importance of a trial. In law-respecting countries, even the worst criminals get a trial; mass murderers, drug-traffickers, even those accused of genocide, are captured when possible, given lawyers if needed, and tried. Terrorist organizations generally focus on killing those they regard as enemies; trial is not required.

Al-Qaida leader Ayman Al-Zawahri was a terrible man who deserves no pity. Al-Qaida is now a flexible organization that will recover quickly from the loss. U.S. President Joe Biden describes Al-Zawahri’s death as a victory for anti-terrorism.Article content I wonder. The world’s strongest power’s growing reliance on extra-judicial killings and extraordinary rendition endangers us all. Each such act is a small victory for terrorism. Rule-of-law countries should be trying to show terrorists that we are not like them. Justice, rather than revenge, should always be our goal.Re: Mixed feelings swirl around Pope’s visit, July 29.

Throughout his historic pilgrimage in Canada, Pope Francis conducted himself with the humility, compassion and courage which have been the hallmarks of his remarkable papacy. As for his critics, the old joke seems appropriate. Pope Francis could walk on water, and they’d complain that he could not swim.Article content

204th Royal St. John’s Regatta Going Ahead TodayThe Royal St. John's Regatta is a Go for today. With temperatures in the high 20s and no wind to speak of, it'... Plans for daycare or appt etc on a week of Regatta is a total mess. Time to move this to a Friday and then have the weekend for best weather. CityofStJohns should adjust this to suit todays lifestyles. What a great job by the dingbats on the Regatta committee. Much better to go down to the Regatta on a foggy drizzly day like today than a sunny warm day like yesterday when it was supposed to go ahead. Should have went ahead yesterday, it was perfect out. Today is muggy with humidity nearing 30. The 'high winds' was nothing more than q breeze.
