Much of what is now taking place in the Middle East brings to mind an old Arabic curse, "Yakhrub baytak" ("May God destroy your house"). Sounds fine to me, Cobalt. If I were an Israeli, I would be all for it. The idea, other than the curse, is to put pressure on these kids to stop the bombing. I say kids because most of them are young and living at home. If the parents know they are going to lose their house, maybe they won't be in such a rush to have a terrorist for a son or daughter. Our Supreme Court just upheld a law by Congress allowing authorities to evict Public Housing dwellers who allow people living with them to use dope. The same idea here, to try to stop people from engaging in use, and in our case, to get the dealers out of the Public Housing. People who are strapping bombs to themselves and blowing up men, women, and children should be stopped anyway that can be found.
