He can learn, yes, and he can better himself...but because of
his actions, so many have died, so much grief has occured, that perhaps

to live out his life in peace, realizes that mistakes were made, is
actually trying to find a better life...but as one man dies at his
hands says, "You have hung too many Christs on crosses for any god to
forgive you."
