Naemanson: What are Jersey barriers?

Pseudolus said, "As much as I agree with the thought 'For the sake of the children', I can't help but picture those same children dancing in the streets celebrating the deaths of our own." Please, let's not forget that children live what they learn. These children are dancing because the adults around them are dancing. I'm sure they don't understand what or why they are celebrating; all they know is that there's a party goin' on. Any rhetoric that they spout is simple parroting of what the adults are saying. The adults alone are responsible for what they say AND for what they are teaching their children to repeat.

I concur with those who advocate finding out who committed these atrocities FIRST before we speak of revenge on one nation or race or class. But when we DO know who did this, by all means they should be punished to the fullest extent possible.
