I thought murderers were put in jail, or sould they just be left alone...no sense trying to take care of them.

(Where to begin, where to begin?) If we were to put all of the foriegn governments (people) who commit murder in jail (or kill them), there are a lot of people (governments) we regard as allies who we would have to kill or put in jail (maybe including ourselves). And, if we are going to kill everyone we think might harm us some day, then we will have to become murderers ourselves.

Carol C: your last post illuminates your prejudice against Israel, right?

How so, DougR?
