The people in Gitmo are not car thieves and burglars, they were, all, taken on the battlefield either when they ran out of ammo or surrendered their weapons. They are murderers and will kill again given the chance. Would you like to have them in your city? Would you be able to to vouch for them and swear on your life that they would never kill again if you released them into your neighborhood? That is exactly what you are asking of America.
I can completely sympathise with the position you are in as a citizen of a country that has this problem to deal with. It does however remind me very vividly of when I was younger and my brother would come home ass over teakettle running for his life with some large punk on his tail. Now my brother would hide behind me and inform his would be assailant that he was now well and truly ****ed. I did defend him at first but then I got a little sick of it and began to ask just what in the name of Hades was going on. After listening to both sides I soon discovered that my "innocent" little brother was actually instigating the confrontations and then running home to have me twat the helpless bastard. You should have seen the look on my brother's face the first time I informed him he would have to cash the check his mouth had wrote. It was difficult because I truly love my brother and we're best friends today but he had to learn that for every action their is a reaction and no one escapes that law.
The US for well over 50 years now has run amuck in the world implementing its views and programs in every part of the globe wherever it saw fit and there are a lot of pissed off people now who want a piece of her arse. The truly sad part is that the vast majority of Americans are completely ignorant of the actions its government has perptrated globally in their name making them the most hated people in the world. The exact reason no main stream media ever answered the "why" question about 9/11. The best course of action is one my brother learned. Keep your mouth shut, mind your own business and no one will bloody your nose but if you do this and someone still comes after you, your friends and your family WILL be there to defend you and not leave you out to dry.
