Of all the human traits revenge is one of the nastiest. Those that participate without objection or simply don't object are scarred by it. We can see the results now in Israel and the Arab world, the Irish problem and the ongoing Eastern Bloc conflicts (Kosovo, etc.) Going after bad guys like Hitler and ABL is not revenge, however; that is the pursuit of true justice for great crimes. Great sacrifices have always been taken like calculated risks. Perhaps, Coventry was such a decision? Like the lesser of two evils. How about Harry Truman's (my favorite President) decision to drop the Atom bomb? In the aftermath of a raging war such decisions are considered benign, and I doubt Harry had any anguish later over it. As Americans we can take solace in that we never started any of these overseas conflicts. I recall the girls in the street asking Yanks for chocolate bars, chewing gum and cigarettes (a carton was the ultimate invitation to fraternization). Good thoughts on your part. Angler
