A man who drops a bomb on a house full of children, knowing that the house is full of children, is also a foul, depraved fiend. Even if he thinks he is doing good by killing a bad man. If the choice is between killing ten children vs. letting ten thousand children die a sure death, it gets tricky. That's why we hope God will decide, because we believe God sees everything and knows our hearts.

<<<How about a man who drops a bomb on a house where he expects that children live ? Does he not mean to kill the children ?>>> This whole thing is a tragedy. The way things look, there is no solution in sight. Te truth is both sides have a right to live. The truth is both sides have kids that had nothing to do with how they got into this terrible situation. They all deserve better. Is one side all good and the other side all bad? I don't think so. Is one side more deserving than the other? I don't think so. The reality is, that force will never change enough people's minds to make a difference and solve this problem on a permanent basis. I just don't see a solution, but somehow, I am optimistic. I don't see how it will happen, but it will happen. The two side will eventually co-exist. Uneasily at first, but all this stuff will go away. Somehow, I would like to see a German solution to all the conflicts going on in this world. I mean the East/West German solution. I was in West Germany before the wall came down, and a German Nationalist was sort of kidding, when he told me how Germany was going to rise again. He said, and he was sort of half kidding, "we will not have to invade Poland the next time - we will just buy it". That is exactly what they did with East Germany. I don't know if that is a perfect solution, but it's not too bad.
