Some DUers don't care one bit about decency? They would, in dealing with these depraved killers, descend to their level? That's deeply disappointing but not completely surprising.

If you don't care about decency, though, how about applying a little pragmatism. Cremation of Tsarnaev would become a new grievance for radical Muslims to trumpet in their ceaseless propaganda war against the United States. If it helps them recruit even one new jihadist, that new recruit might be the one who fires the shot or sets off the bomb that kills an American in Kabul -- or in Cleveland. Do you want some innocent person to die as a result of your bloodlust? If you agree that such a needless killing would be a bad outcome, then hold off on the war whoops for cremating Tsarnaev. Leave that to Rush Limbaugh and his ilk.
