<The only "martyrs" that ever impressed me with their moral stance were the Buddhist monks who set themselves aflame--and no one else--during the Vietnam conflict.> Agree, 100%. I'm not defending Hamas or Al Queda methods. I'm saying that the chosen response of the Israeli and American governments, ends up killing more, many more, innocent civilians than the terrorists do. I'm saying our methods are just as indefensible. We don't "turn the other cheek". We don't even do "an eye for an eye". It's more like 5 or 10 or 100-to-one ratio. And then we focus exclusively on Their savagery.
