Nice of the Brits to chim in. He was tried by a court and found guilty. He appealed it and was still found guilty. It has been over 20 for my dear Friend in Spain I would say that you couild compair this trail to that of a third world country. Sorry senior and mate but time for him to pay.

I strongly believe that the death penalty is unChristian and only God has authority to take a human life.

Umberto, Roma, Italy

Perhaps the same punishment can be applied to US soldiers who have raped and murdered in Iraq then!

Richard Speight, Barnsley, UK

Those killing someone for killing someone, become killers... and following this theory deserve to be killed...
having this happen in third world countries y crazy, but in the "Richest country in the world."........ very sad. :-(
Rich country but as radical and low cultured as the third world...

As much as I would have loved to be sentimental about this instant case,I strongly concur with the decision of the President to uphold the decision of the Court Martial thereby appending his mark..The offense of Rape in itself is a Felony let alone Murder.True he may be an active serviceman,so what?

Seun George, Lagos, Nigeria

who cares about china? lets worry about the stuff that is going on in our own country first. this guy was a disgrace to our military and our country and i for one think he deserves what he gets. and as for china, if thats what bugs you i suggest
moving there. maybe then you can make a difference.

Lil George, really want to make history anyway he can.

By doing this act of judgment to become the first President to have someone executed in 51 years that's associated with military and all these other murders that been connected to Iraq will definitely place his name in the history book.

Tera, Oakland, U. S.

Why is there more wailing and travail over this one purely administrative action than for all of the 377 executions in China, many for political as opposed to criminal crimes?

Bob Evans, Anaheim,

President Bush is very qualitied to judge in this or any other moral issue, thank you very much!

Ed Cabanas, Ellisville, USA

We are not judging George Bush but this predator named Gray, anyhow George Bush can not have the moral grounding in your own particular point of view, for others that can be much different. Gray is nothing but a predator and taking a side for predators is much more inmoral and obnoxious.

Martin, Union, NJ, USA

I don't recall saying anything about what final disposition should be in the Ronald A. Gray case. I stand by my statement that George W. Bush doesn't have the moral grounding or authority to even have an opinion about it.

QUOTE: The man had repeated lapses of composure,

Planing the murder and rape of three innocent victims, and you call that a lapse of judgment? I call that a man who has no regard for human life... I guess Hitler wasnt evil. He just had a series of judgment lapses...about six million or so.

J. Holden Gibbons, Shaker Heights, OH, America

Well although what Ronald A. Gray did was not right and deserves to be put to death, he may not feel the pain of what he did. I think he should be put to life imprisonment with hard labour. By so doing, he will contribute economically to the nation and the world as a whole. President please change

Joseph Kwasi Dzitse, Accra, Ghana

What about the victims and their families. If the families of the victims forgive him then he should not be executed, but I feel he deserves the execution for his terrible crimes.

Nathan, Wilmslow, UK

So what has been happening over the past 20 years? Presumably his lawyers are paid by the hour.....

andrew, swindon, uk

Interesting how some people believe that murderers shouldn't be executed simply because they hate George Bush. It shows the irrational, emotional hatefulness that is so prevalent in politics today. And this is from the "compassionate" side of the argument over capital punishment.

Tom, Sacramento, USA

Are you people out of your mind? This man took two innocent lives and tried to take a third? Would you feel the same way if it were your daughter, mother or sister who was murdered so violently? I commend Mr. Bush for his actions.

Adina Bland, Myrtle Beach, Proudly USA

This is terrible. The man had repeated lapses of composure, murded and raped and the answer is to kill him. He should be given a cell (sorry room), given a free education, given free counciling, given a job and small wage and when hes released from prison 25 years too soon he can have my house.

Zeus Dormer, stockholm, sweden

He should have been executed years ago. It's too late now.

michael clarke, hIGH wYCOMBE, UK

Bush playing God again...

Will, New Jersey, USA,

so is these the " pro-life" stance that bush clams to have ? what happened to beaning Faith based ? Jesus was agenst an Eye for an Eye and that is a much bigger part of the bible than anything about Gayness or Abortion

Dominicus DePaula, Grate Neck , U.S.A

George W. Bush doesn't have the moral grounding or moral authority to order or approve anyone's execution for any reason. My fervent desire is that he be rendered to the Black Hole of Wherever for an uncomfortable year before he is ultimately handed over to the International Court.

Laurens L. Battis III, Fairfield, U.S.
