<I do agree that force should be met with force.> CB, first, communication should be tried, to see if there is a mind to be dealt with. If not, then it's time to use the forces of nature to deal with the problem, whether it's a mindless bolide coming in or a mindless marauder wanting to steal property or a mindless murderer enmeshed in a mad ideology. In the case of Tillman and co, if they had tried communication first, rather than firepower, some people would still be alive. Of course, sometimes, there isn't a lot of time for a pow-wow or hui. But there seems to be an issue with the USA in terms of trigger-happiness. The culture is shoot 'em up John Wayne [now Terminator] style. Thinking, empathy and communication beats shooting and destroying. Mqurice
