I don't know what will get that debate going.

Karen, I can't help but relate this to the bully in the school yard or in the workplace. Children/adults tend to rally around their peer when he/she is reprimanded even when they know the bully's behavior is wrong. It might be them next...fear, both of the bully and of the "reprimander", is the cause. If the bully is suspended or fired without much flair, all the true feelings surface.

Hopefully,once bin Laden is quietly eliminated,the debate will begin in earnest. Any dramatic episode will just fuel the fire. It gives the bully his audience.
