~Hi Miriam and all,
I've been doing a good bit of thinking about recent discussions on how we
should be dealing with those who perpetrate terrorist attacks. Firstly, let
me back off of my wish to take out Netanyahu. While I do believe the bastard
doesn't deserve to live, taking him out would likely be counter-productive.
AS for perpetrators of attacks like the the one in Paris, the best approach
is to arrest them and put them on trial and imprison them for life. When
police raided the perpetrators of the Paris attack they were greeted with
large volumes of gunfire and the perpetrators were killed in the ensuing
battle.
I do believe there are evil people and that they do not deserve to walk
freely. Yes, I recognize that Israel and the west caused the spark that lit
the fire of terrorism. But the perpetrators were the ones who convinced
others to become suicide bombers.
Finally, I'd say that we humans have barbaric tendencies and there is at
least a smidge of barbarism within all of us.
