> What reports??? Show me the footage and maybe I will believe that.
This has been emphasised by two other sources to me... Im sorry I dont have any footage or super8 for you hours after a national tradgedy...
> As you said, no bloodshed is worth any cause. ANY cause; including revenge/retaliation/punishment.
Yet there is worth in bloodshed when it stops further loss of life... I think that is what everyone, (and if you watch the news, nation after nation are declaring their intentions to help eradicate this threat)... I think that is what everyone's goal is... not to *punish* or to give some sort of sick satisfaction to the griefstricken, though I'm sure it will...
Perhaps you would prefer us to put daisys in the rifles of our enemies like Kent State, but in the dynamics of geopolotics this is not going to happen... And I think to ultimately declare a minimal act of pacifism, by removing a few out of hundreds if not thousands of terrorists is not going to make the world a safer place, it also spits on the graves of the dead by making their loss unworthy of any attempt to prevent future loss...
