As if Paul didn't joke about the emasculation of his enemies; as if Jesus Himself didn't joke about how Jewish prophets naturally have to go to the Jewish holy city to be killed.Kaffinatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09146781661881693212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-1154083816720238382006-07-28T06:50:00.000-04:002006-07-28T06:50:00.000-04:00Perhaps the more, um, reasonable (and perhaps Chri...Perhaps the more, um, reasonable (and perhaps Christian) way to have made Steve's point would have been to say something of the effect that, had the bomb hit the HQ instead of the outpost, the effect on peace (when and how it will come) would have been nil.<BR/><BR/>The underlying question in all of this is, of course, can you remove Islamic fascism by force? Can you kill them all? Or in fighting them, do you not draw more persons into their cause, and convince more moderates that they [Hizbollah] are on the right side of things, and that such a militia is necessary?<BR/><BR/>Perhaps I'm just an idealist. I'm not a leftie in the sense that you mean it, but I suppose I see this cycle of violence as cruel in its unending circularity. Watching <I>Munich</I> was a beautiful narrative for convincing me of that.<BR/><BR/>How many people think this doesn't just motivate the crazies further, and encourage their efforts to acquire <I>serious</I> weapons, as well as make those with access to such weapons more likely to sympathize with them and give them over?nsflhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04129382545589470620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-1154083725507054502006-07-28T06:48:00.000-04:002006-07-28T06:48:00.000-04:00Steve, I couldn't agree more!
