Larry, I was really addressing my remarks more to Jeri, who took exception to the use of the word "enemy", and who expressed the wish that people would learn to respect the rights of people who have done extraordinary malevolent things, and "see the light within them".

I'm a bit more of a pragmatist. I'm willing to settle for people being able to respect civil and human rights. The warm and fuzzy "light within" shit can definitely wait until later. Or never, as far as I'm concerned, as I don't think much of the school of thought that says the highest, most noble (sic) human purpose is thinking lofty thoughts about ourselves and our fellow human beings.

I'd really rather we learn how to get along, so each of us could fulfill our human potential without fear of starving, freezing, or boiling to death, being murdered by (mostly male) relatives, strangers, military/paramilitary mercenaries and soldiers, that sort of thing.
