Hanging him makes me stronger and satisfied

Afzal Guru must be hanged. Rather some one must be hanged. If it were possible we would have hanged Pervez Musharraf or Nawaz shariff or Shoaib Akhtar. Or the entire Pakistani Nation. Alas we are not America! We can't bomb Islamabad. So we should do what most we can do. So we must hang Afzal. We must hang him for the sake of those who laid down their precious lives defending our parliament. We must hang him to tell 'them' that we don't 'wear bangles in our hands'. We must hang him as a tribute to the Supreme court which has made great efforts to satiate the collective conscience of the country.
How does it matter if we really couldn't identify the 5 who was shot down in their bid to attack the parliament? Or we based the case on the confession of a single person (read Afzal) that was rejected by the courts. Actually, we don't need to listen to Afzal's side of the story. Why should we listen to a terrorist? How does it matter if he was a terrorist who had surrendered with the BSF in 1993? Or he has something to say about the STF (Special Task Force) of the J&K police that was never ordered to be investigated? Or there were numerous loopholes and frailties in the investigation of the heinous crime? Or he did not have lawyers to defend him, rather had an amicus appointed by the court?
We have full faith in our judiciary that appreciates the collective conscience of its people. So Afzal must be hanged to fulfill the vengence of the nation.
That is how we become the largest democray in the world.
